A dish of Cauliflower with Brown Butter, Pears, Sage & Hazelnuts

Ingredients

  • 3 oz. (6 T.) unsalted butter
  • 1 medium cauliflower head, cut into 3/4" florets
  • 1/2 c. toasted, skinned, chopped hazelnuts
  • 8 fresh sage leaves, thinly sliced crosswise
  • Kosher salt and ground black pepper
  • 2 large ripe pears, cored and thinly sliced
  • 2 T. chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Directions

In a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter until light browns and bubbly. Add the cauliflower, hazelnuts, and sage. Cook 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with 1 t. salt and 1/2 t. pepper and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is browned and crisp-tender, 6-7 minutes more. Remove the pan from heat. Add the pear slices and parsley. Gently toss to combine and warm the pears. Season to taste with more salt. Serve hot or at room temperature.
