50 minutes
Golden cauliflower with garlic and parmesan is a harmony of simplicity and sophistication in Italian cuisine. Baked in white wine until tender, the cauliflower acquires a subtle tang that enhances its natural sweetness. A crispy crust of breadcrumbs, garlic, parsley, and aromatic parmesan turns the dish into a true delicacy. This recipe is a perfect example of how humble ingredients can create an impressive flavor. In Italy, such vegetable casseroles are often served as a side dish to meat or fish but also pair wonderfully with a glass of white wine and fresh bread. Warm, fragrant, and tender, this cauliflower will adorn any table, adding a Mediterranean character and the coziness of home cooking.
