Barberries are a nicely tart substitute for the sumac and golden raisins! I get them from my local Mediterranean market and use them for everything. The flavor really pops without being too sweet or too sour.

Really delicious. I used dried cranberries. With half a teaspoon of salt it still seemed too salty. I enjoyed this as a lunch entree for two.

Was great with addition of caramelized onions! Really enjoyed, will make again. Will add more sumac next time.

Thank you for a great looking recipe that does not call for onion or garlic. My spouse is severely allergic to both so many dishes fall flat from leaving it out. I can't wait to try this.

Sauted cauliflower is a great dish combined with orecchiette as an easy main. Yes you can use less oil and oven roast (I do it both ways) but the cooking time is often extended. I agree with the other commenter-onions are always used and add a savory richness and complexity so give it a try. Great variation with the addition of the dried fruits and rosemary.

Anyone ever tried this roasting the cauliflower instead of sauteeing? Thinking about trying this for a holiday, having the breadcrumbs and nuts prepped in advance. Then tossing with the roasted cauliflower. Thanks

I noticed that the restaurant's menu description included caramelized onions. I might try this with currants and those onions.

Love this dish, great combination of flavours and whats more it can be made in advance as i think it tastes better at room temp. Tips: cut florets very small as described, mine were a bit big so took longer to cook than needed, if serving at room temp, toss the breadcrumb mixture at the end so it doesn't go soggy. Voila! id imagine this would go down a treat for a gourmet picnic etc

I love this restaurant and this recipe! When we ate this in NY, the cauliflower was cut finer -- texture closer to a white rice. I'll have to try it this way since it would be easier to prepare.

Made this for Easter yesterday and was not a fan. Maybe mine was too dry because I made it ahead and reheated it in the oven but aside from that, the currants were just weird in there. And most of the pine nuts fell to the bottom so they were pretty much an expensive waste. Did I cut the cauliflower too big? I dunno, used the pic as a guide as to size. Might try again leaving the currants out and reducing the pine nuts.

Finishing up leftovers for lunch. Amazing! I often cut up a cauliflower, toss with olive oil and herbs, roast and do a sprinkle of some kind of cheese for my dinner. (yes I live alone) This combo moves to the top of my list! I did it exactly as written (used currents), but will probably try to make in the oven next time.

I prepared this for a dinner party last Sunday and it got the most compliments of anything on the menu.

I'm college frosh who made this on a whim while home on winter break, despite being a fabulously inexperienced cook (errr, first time cooking cauliflower without all-knowing parent to guide me; slight panic). No sumac, and golden sultana raisins' => sketchy combination of dried apricots, craisins, and raisins. Used rosemary and parsley from my plants (which miraculously survived without me.)
Somehow, it came out wonderfully (!) and fought with mom over who got the last bite the next day (!!). Can only imagine the greatness this would be with proper ingredients and a more experienced cook. Yay.

Made this again and realized I had no rosemary half way through prepping the recipe... It tastes amazing with dried marjoram as a substitute!

I made this with half broccoli and half cauliflower and tossed it with penne. Delish!

Made this with broccoli instead of cauliflower, currants and blanched almonds instead of pine nuts. So great!

I love this recipe! I happen to have sumac on hand because I sprinkle it on my hummus. It is has a delicious tartness and offers beautiful color to a dish such as this. I love golden raisins in my cracked wheat dishes and for this but as a diabetic I need to curb their use unfortunately. Currants are also a favorite that I would like to try. Thanks for this delight and congrats on recognition for such a great recipe!

I love cauliflower and I am going to make this using currants for the holidays as I prefer them over the sultanas sweetness. Thank you for sharing such a lovely recipe and congrats on the win!
