directions

Heat the olive oil in a medium sauté pan over medium heat.
Add the cauliflower (and thyme if using) and cook until the cauliflower is brown and caramelized; approximately 8 minutes.
Add the dates and olives and cook for about 1 more minute, until heated through.
Pour in the wine and deglaze the pan, allowing the alcohol to burn off.
Transfer mixture to a serving bowl and sprinkle with pimentón and garnish with fresh parsley (if you're replacing the thyme).

This recipe is fantastic! Very easy and very tasty. A sure crowd pleaser. Thank you Cookgirl for figuring out one of my Jaleo fave's. It saved me the time of having to do it myself. I wanted to make that dish from Jaleo this weekend and looked on here to see if I could find something similar. You could imagine my delight when I found your recipe. Thanks so much!
