Braised Cauliflower with Lemon and Almonds

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
2. In a large Dutch oven, heat half of the vegetable oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add half of the cauliflower, season with half of the salt and cook over moderately high heat until it begins to brown, about 5 minutes; transfer to a bowl. Repeat with the remaining cauliflower and salt. Transfer to bowl.
3. Add the onion, garlic, ginger and curry paste and cook over moderate heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in the broth and bring to a boil. Stir in the cauliflower. Cover and braise in the oven for 35 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and the sauce is slightly thickened.
4. Transfer cauliflower to a serving bowl and the sauce on top. Garnish with the lemon zest, toasted almonds, chopped cilantro or parsley and serve.
