Top Chef Hung Huynh's Pro-Tip For Upgrading Roasted Cauliflower
By Elaina Friedman
Bravo's Season 3 "Top Chef" winner, Vietnamese-American Chef Hung Huynh, served Hollywood star Blake Lively a roasted cauliflower dish that she called "a beautiful winter medley."
What sets Huynh's version apart is the inclusion of pomegranate seeds, the tart winter fruit that happens to be taking over TikTok right now.
After blanching two whole heads of cauliflower, he tosses them with olive oil and bold spices like truffle salt and lets them get nice and brown in the oven.
The dish is tossed in a flavorful vinaigrette with rice wine vinegar, paprika, and plump golden raisins and showered with pomegranate seeds, grated parmesan, and toasted pine nuts.
The result is a sweet and savory dish that, according to Lively, "could almost be a fake potato" thanks to the inclusion of cheese.
