Honey-Lemon-Glazed Cauliflower

Here is yet another way to prepare cauliflower. These cauliflower are slightly sweetened because of the honey, which adds a nice distinct flavor to this side dish. This is adapted from Fine Cooking.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 medium head cauliflower (1-1/4 lb.), cored and cut into 1-inch florets
  
• Kosher salt
• 2 Tbs. honey
• 1 tsp. ground coriander
• 1/2 tsp. sweet smoked paprika
• 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
• 2 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp. finely grated lemon zest
• 1 Tbs. chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

1. Heat 3 Tbs. of the oil in a heavy duty 12-inch skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat. Add the cauliflower and 1/2 tsp. salt and stir to coat. Cook, without stirring, until the cauliflower is browned on one side, about 4 minutes. Turn each piece over and cook, without stirring, until evenly browned on the second side, about 4 minutes more. Reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking, stirring often, until browned all over, about 4 minutes longer.
2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir 2 Tbs. water and the remaining 1 Tbs. oil with the honey, coriander, paprika, and pepper flakes.
3. Add the honey mixture to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally for about 1 minute. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until most of the liquid has evaporated and the cauliflower is glazed, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl, stir in the lemon juice and zest, and garnish with the cilantro. Serve immediately.
