This dish can stand on its own, baby. I love to serve it on a platter surrounded by all the goodness from the pan and let everyone dig in. As a cruciferous veggie, this white beauty protects us from cancer, provides fiber and vitamin C, choline, vitamin K, sulforaphane and a host of antioxidants: cauliflower has it all.

Ingredients

  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 whole cauliflower, leaves intact (if available), bottom trimmed, scored in a cross shape
  • 2 yellow or red onions

Method

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Place a generous amount of olive oil in the bottom of a deep Dutch oven that can go in the oven. Place the whole cauliflower (with the leaves wrapped around it, if you have them) in the middle. Take the red onions and peel the layers back like petals and
