Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 380 degrees F (195 degrees C).

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

While onion is cooking, spread pine nuts on a baking sheet.

Step 4

Bake pine nuts in the preheated oven until toasted and light brown, 2 to 3 minutes, being careful they do not burn.

Step 5

Stir cauliflower into the skillet with the onion. Add toasted pine nuts, currants, salt, and pepper. Stir continuously until cauliflower starts to brown, about 5 minutes. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil and cook until cauliflower is nice and crispy, 3 to 5 more minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl and top with toasted bread crumbs.
