Sicilian Cauliflower Antipasti

Let's kick off 2014 on the right foot!

This easy (and healthy!) recipe is a wonderful side dish when served warm, and also is a fantastic addition to an antipasti spread when served at room temperature.

To tell you the truth, I was never a huge fan of cauliflower until I started roasting it.  All you need is a little bit of olive oil, salt and pepper to transform a bland veggie into a spectacular dish!  I love how the cauliflower gets perfectly browned and crispy in the oven.

I was inspired to create this recipe after falling in love with the Cauliflower alla Siciliana on the menu at Mario Batali's restaurant "Otto" in New York City.  I like to roast the cauliflower along with some capers.  They become fantastically crispy and crunchy.  Then I toss in some sliced black olives just before serving.   It is such a simple preparation and tastes just like Mario's version at the restaurant!

Preparation

Method
To prepare the turkey sausage and arugula: In a preheated small nonstick sauté pan, cook the turkey sausage patties over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until the patties are golden brown and thoroughly cooked. Remove the turkey sausage patties from the pan. Add the arugula to the same pan along with 1 tablespoon water. Quickly wilt the arugula and remove from the heat.

To prepare the eggs: Place the olive oil in a preheated nonstick medium sauté pan. Crack the eggs into a small mixing bowl and whisk together with a fork for 1 minute. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and let sit for 15 seconds. Using a small rubber spatula, gently move the eggs around the pan, scraping from the bottom every 7 seconds or so. Continue to cook the eggs for 2 minutes longer or until they are just cooked (they should glisten and be just set).

Assembly
Place a cooked turkey sausage patty on each muffin bottom and top with the cooked eggs. Place the wilted arugula and sliced tomato over the eggs and top with the other half of the muffin. Serve immediately.
