I love thinly sliced roasted cauliflower, all on its own, so I've been putting off trying the Whole Roasted Cauliflower with Whipped Feta from Shaya. I finally gave it a try, with just half a head, and I'm sold.
Prior to roasting, the cauliflower is first boiled/steamed in a broth of white wine, salt, lemon juice, butter red pepper flakes, bay leaf and a bit of sugar, a step that infuses it with extra flavors.
Edited to add that the cauliflower recipe is available online at this link.
Per the book, it's served with a whipped feta/goat cheese/cream cheese mixture.
I added some crostini topped with Matbucha, a rustic mix of tomato, roasted red bell pepper and onion, cooked together with spices, also from the book.
