GRILLED CAULIFLOWER PAILLARDS WITH ORANGE-OLIVE PISTOU

IN THE GARDENER AND THE GRILL, WE GRILLED CAULIFLOWER SLICES THEN TOPPED them with a tomatillo salsa, but when we saw Jason Neroni’s vegan dish served at Superba Snack Bar in Los Angeles, we said “ooh-la-la!” and adapted it here. One large cauliflower will yield about six (1-inch/2.5-cm) paillards, with two of the slices being the end pieces. Only cut part of the core, because if you remove too much, the paillard will fall apart.

SERVES 2 TO 3

Orange-Olive Pistou

¼ cup (50 ml) extra-virgin olive oil

Juice of 1 lemon

2 oranges (14 ounces/435 g), peeled, segmented, and coarsely chopped

½ cup (90 g) green olives (such as Manzanilla or Picholine), pitted and coarsely chopped

¼ cup (40 g) golden raisins

2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

2 tablespoons coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley

Kosher or sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 large head (2½ pounds/1.25 kg) cauliflower, part of core and green leaves removed

Olive oil for brushing

Kosher or sea salt

Prepare an indirect medium-hot fire in your grill.

For the Orange-Olive Pistou, stir the olive oil, lemon juice, orange segments, olives, raisins, garlic, and parsley together in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.

Cut the cauliflower from top to bottom into 1-inch-thick (2.5 cm) slices and place on a baking sheet. Brush the cauliflower with olive oil and salt to taste. Place the cauliflower slices over the hot fire and grill for 2 minutes per side to get good grill marks, and then move to the indirect or no-heat side of the grill. Close the lid and grill-roast for another 10 minutes, until the cauliflower slices still hold together but are tender when pierced with a fork.

To serve, shingle or overlap the cauliflower slices on a platter and spoon the Orange-Olive Pistou down the center.
