Ingredients

Vegetable Oil - 2 tablespoons
Panko breadcrumbs - to taste

Step by Step guide

Step 1

In a large skillet over medium heat, toast the pine nuts, stirring frequently, until dark golden brown (about 2 minutes). Transfer to a large bowl.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in the same skillet and, stirring frequently, toast the Panko until dark golden brown (about 3 minutes). Transfer to the bowl with the pine nuts.

Step 3

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in the same skillet and, stirring occasionally, sauté the cauliflower until golden brown but not cooked through (about 10-12 minutes). Season with salt and pepper and add ¾ cup of water. Simmer for 10-12 minutes until the cauliflower is tender and the water has evaporated.

Step 4

Add the garlic, butter, and pickled peppers to the cauliflower and sauté, stirring, until the butter melts and the garlic and peppers become fragrant (about 2 minutes). Remove from heat and mix with the pine nuts, Panko, Parmesan, and mint; season with salt and pepper.
