Ingredients
For the cauliflower:
- 1 medium head cauliflower trimmed and cut into 1-inch thick "steaks"
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
For the sauce:
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 cup chicken-style broth
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon parsley minced, plus additional for garnish
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 2 teaspoons creamy Dijon mustard
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
For the cauliflower:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Place cauliflower onto the baking sheet. Lightly brush each with olive oil then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake 20 minutes, until edges are golden brown.
For the sauce:
- While the cauliflower is in the oven, set a small saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Add the butter and when the butter is melted, pour in the wine and broth. Bring to a boil and cook for 3 minutes.
- Turn the heat down to low, then add in the lemon juice, parsley, capers, mustard, and pepper. Whisk thoroughly to remove any clumps of mustard. Continue cooking for an additional 3 minutes.
To serve:
- Use a wide spatula to carefully transfer the cauliflower to serving plates. Spoon sauce over the cauliflower, garnish with additional parsley and serve hot.
