Baked cauliflower with pear marinade

Small cauliflowers are avaiable on the farmers market. Polish, young, small (approx. 0.5kg), ideal for one. Almighty believes that the cauliflower is amazingly edible either raw or simply cooked and served with bread crumbs, but I prefer something different. And I had this lonely,sad, dying pear in the fruit bowl…

Because, when summer comes, full of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, watermelons even, I somehow cease to like pears. I bought this one with the aim of pear smoothie, but I forgot about it.

I do not remember where, but once I saw recipe with pear marinade. The idea stuck in my head and reminded now.

The most important things I had: cauliflower for baking and pear for the marinade. The rest came along 🙂

Baled cauliflower with pear is sweet at first, to almost immediately hit a sharp hint of pepper. Sprinkled with lemon juice gains an additional note, fresh and light. It is worth a try. Bon Appetit 🙂
