Sauteed Cauliflower with Garlic and Anchovies

The name of this dish may repel you, but trust me, it is delicious. I only recently discovered anchovy paste, and in the right context it adds unique flavors. This side dish is adapted from multiple recipes, and it continues my latest and current obsession with cauliflower.

Ingredients

• 1 large head cauliflower (core removed and cut into same-size flowerets)
• 2 tsp. minced garlic
• 1 tsp. anchovy paste from a tube
• 1 tsp. chopped capers (optional)
  
• Pinch red pepper flakes
• 1-2 T olive oil
  
• Chopped fresh parsley
  

Instructions

1. Mix the garlic, anchovy paste, capers, and red pepper flakes together to create a paste.
   
2. Heat oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add cauliflower and saute for about 10 minutes, until their edges start browning.
3. Lower heat to medium and add the garlic mixture and mix in with the cauliflower. Cook for another 5-10 minutes until the garlic has started to cook and the cauliflower is well-browned.
   
4. Remove from heat, add chopped parsley, and serve warm.
   

Serves 1-2. Eat them all.
