Roasted Romanesco with Pine Nut, Anchovy and Date Dressing

  • 3 - 4 small Romanesco, about 2 pounds total, tough stem ends trimmed
  • 5 tablespoons olive oil
  • Flaked sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/3 cup pine nuts
  • 3 medjool dates, pitted and mashed to a paste
  • 3 anchovy fillets, mashed to a paste
  • 2 cloves garlic, mashed to a paste
  • Zest of one orange
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

Heat oven to 425.  Toss Romanesco with two tablespoons olive oil and season well with salt and pepper.  Arrange in a heavy bottomed skillet or small roasting pan and roast until golden brown, on the cusp of being slightly burned, about 30 minutes.

Carefully toast pine nuts in a small dry skillet over a low flame, shaking pan so nuts brown more or less evenly, to just golden, about 5 minutes.  Remove from heat and transfer to a small bowl.  Return skillet to low heat.  Add remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and mashed dates, anchovies and garlic.  Cook, stirring until, paste just begins to caramelize and sizzle all at once, about 5 minutes.  Remove from heat.  Stir in zest, vinegar and reserved nuts.  If mixture seems too thick or dry add a squeeze of juice from zested orange.  Pour dressing over roasted Romanesco and serve immediately.
