Author Notes
"This is pretty much an all-weather dish, but it’s particularly great in winter when there’s nothing green comin’ out of the ground. Cauliflower is something you can always get at the grocery, and the same goes for olives and oranges. Plus the flavors work really nicely together—starchy, salty, and sweet."
