ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower (or 2 if they're small)
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
- 2 cups fresh bail leaves
- 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus 1 tablespoon
- 1/2 cup mayo
- salt and pepper, to taste
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Step 2
Trim the stem from the cauliflower head. Cut cauliflower vertically into 1 to 1 1/2 inch slices. Place slices on a parchment lined baking sheet and brush with 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and roast for 20-25 minutes or until fork tender, flipping half way through.
Step 3
Put Parmesan, garlic, lemon zest, and pine nuts into a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add basil and lemon juice and pulse to combine. Finally, with the food processor running, drizzle 1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil onto the mixture. Continue until pesto is smooth, about 1 minute.
Step 4
Take pesto out of the food processor and place into appropriate sized bowl. Add mayo and stir to incorporate. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 5
Remove cauliflower from oven and serve topped with pesto mayo.
