Step 1

Roasted Cauliflower

Preheat oven to 475. Bring wine, oil, kosher salt, juice, butter, red pepper flakes, sugar, bay leaf and 8 cups water to a boil in a large pot. Add cauliflower, reduce heat and simmer, turning occasionally, until a knife easily inserts into centre, 15 -20 minutes.

Using 2 slotted spoons or a mesh spider; transfer cauliflower to a rimmed baking sheet, draining well. Roast, rotating sheet halfway through, until brown all over, 30-40 minutes.

Whipped Goat Cheese

While cauliflower is roasting, blend goat cheese, cream cheese, feta, heavy cream and 2 tbsp oil in a food processor until smooth; season with sea salt. Transfer whipped goat cheese to a serving bowl and drizzle with oil.

Transfer cauliflower to a plate. Drizzle with oil; sprinkle with sea salt. Serve with whipped goat cheese.
