Ingredients: 14
Cauliflower
– 10 cups water
– 2 lemons, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
– 2 tablespoons salt
– 2 teaspoons paprika
– 1 large head cauliflower (about 3 pounds)
– 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Vinaigrette
– 2 anchovy fillets, blotted dry
– 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley

– 1 tablespoon capers, rinsed
– 2 teaspoons white-wine vinegar
– 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
– 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
– 2 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream
Steps: 6
1. To prepare cauliflower: Preheat oven to 475°F. Line a pie pan or baking dish with parchment paper.
2. Combine water, lemon slices, salt and paprika in a large pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove any outer leaves from cauliflower, but do not remove the core. Gently lower the cauliflower into the boiling water. Simmer gently, turning once, until it starts to soften, about 6 minutes. Using a sturdy pair of tongs, transfer the cauliflower to a colander to drain.
3. Place the cauliflower stem-side down in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle 1 tablespoon oil over the top.
4. Roast the cauliflower, rotating the pan if it appears to be browning unevenly, until browned all over, 30 to 35 minutes.
5. To prepare vinaigrette: Combine anchovies, parsley, shallot, capers, vinegar and lemon zest in a food processor. Process, scraping down the sides a few times, until finely minced. With the machine running, add 2 tablespoons oil. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in sour cream.
6. Serve the cauliflower whole or cut into portions, with the vinaigrette.
