ingredients
- 2 small heads cauliflower, broken into florets (3-4 cups)
- 1 strip lemon zest
- 1 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons dried red pepper flakes
- 1 pinch paprika
- 1⁄4 cup red wine vinegar
- 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 2 tablespoons capers, rinsed
directions
- Cook the florets until crisp-tender (4 to 5 minutes) in a large pot of boiling water. Drain and refresh in cold water. Drain again and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
- Heat the olive oil gently in a small saucepan. Remove from hat, drop in pepper flakes, and let steep until the oil is red, about 15 minutes. Strain the oil, discarding the flakes. Add the pinch of paprika to heighten the color. Let the oil cool completely.
- Combine the vinegar and garlic in a mixing bowl. Gradually whisk in the red pepper oil, then stir in the capers. Season to taste with salt, then pour the vinaigrette over the cauliflower and toss to coat. Let marinate at room temperature a few hours before serving.

<p>This site has gotten so horribly bad over the past couple of years, I have stopped using it to manage my recipes and have gone over to using another one, which I have been forbidden to mention on Food.com. It's no secret that there are competitors; send me a message if you are in the same boat and would like to know. For now, I only frequent a few of the forums and that's it. The Titanic has sailed!</p>
