Ingredients

  • 2 heads cauliflower
  • 8 to 10 fresh sage leaves, roughly chopped
  • Zest of 2 lemons
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  •  
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 8 anchovy fillets, rinsed and finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped
  • 1 shallot, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup fresh bread crumbs

Method

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Break cauliflower into florets and toss in a bowl with sage, lemon zest, sugar, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and spread out on a large baking sheet. Place in oven and cook until tender and golden, approximately 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare bread crumbs. Heat olive oil in a saute pan set over medium heat. When oil shimmers, add the anchovies, garlic, shallot, and bread crumbs. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until golden.
  • In a large bowl, toss together cauliflower and bread crumbs and serve on a warmed platter.
