Ingredients
Cauliflower
- 1 head cauliflower about 2 lb.
- 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Quinoa Breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 spring onion finely chopped
- 4 pitted kalamata olives quartered
- 1 tablespoon drained capers
- 6 sliced slivers preserved lemon
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 cup Quinoa Crispies
- 4 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley
- 2 tablespoons chopped mint (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Soft-Boiled Eggs
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
Cauliflower
- Preheat oven to 450° F. Line a baking dish or a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut away all leaves on the cauliflower, and core, leaving the head intact. Quarter the head using a sharp knife, and arrange the cauliflower pieces in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle olive oil over the cauliflower and rub, using your hands, to completely coat in oil. Sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper.
- Roast until tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Quinoa Breadcrumbs
- Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium high heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until caramelized, about 30 - 40 minutes. Add the olives, capers, and preserved lemon and cook for another 10 minutes.
- Add the breadcrumbs and Quinoa Crispies and sauté until toasted, about 10 minutes. Add a little oil if too dry.
- Toss in mint, parsley, salt and pepper. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Soft-Boiled Egg
- Place the eggs in a small pot and cover with water by 1 - 2 inches. Bring to a simmer and maintain a slow simmer for 5 minutes. Run the eggs under cold water, peel, and slice in half.
