Ingredients
The following ingredients have 7 Servings
- 1 head of cauliflower (2 to 3 lbs)
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 8 oz room temperature feta cheese
- 3 oz room temperature cream cheese
- 1/2 cup packed fresh parsley (can replace half with cilantro)
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 Jalapeno pepper (seeds removed)
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Pine nuts
Instruction
- Trim the leaves and tough core from the cauliflower, being sure to leave the head intact. Rub olive oil all over the top and bottom of the cauliflower, using your hands to work it into the small grooves. Sprinkle top and bottom with salt then set in a large rimmed pan or cast iron skillet. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
- Bake cauliflower at 375 degrees F for 30 minutes, then remove aluminum foil. Increase temperature to 400 degrees and continue baking for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until outside is lightly browned.
- While cauliflower cooks, add feta and cream cheese to a food processor and blend until smooth and creamy. Transfer to a small serving bowl and set aside.
- Rinse out food processor then add all of the “herb sauce” ingredients. Blend until smooth, and transfer to a small serving bowl.
- Place cauliflower on a serving tray. You can either spread on the sauce now and sprinkle with a handful of pine nuts, or spread and garnish each individual serving as you slice it up.
