Scrumptious Broccoli & Cauliflower Recipe Video

MAKING
1) Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. While it is heating, slice the cauliflower from top to bottom into 1-inch-thick slices.
2) Brush both sides of every slice with some of the grape seed oil and season with salt and pepper. 3) Place the slices in the hot skillet, pressing them into the pan with a spatula. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until nicely browned. 4) Turn and cook on the other side for about 3 minutes, or until browned and tender. Transfer the slices to a warmed platter.
5) While the cauliflower is cooking, cut the broccoli the same way you cut the cauliflower and brush with some of the remaining grape seed oil.
6) When the cauliflower is cooked, cook the broccoli in the same way. 7) Make sure both sides of the broccoli slices are browned before transferring the slices to the platter with the cauliflower.
8) Add the remaining grape seed oil (about 2 teaspoons) to the hot skillet. Add the garlic slices and sauté, stirring gently and constantly, for 1 to 2 minutes, or until lightly browned.
9) Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
10) Arrange the broccoli around the outside of the platter and then put the cauliflower inside the circle.
SERVING
11) Sprinkle the toasted garlic slices over the broccoli and cauliflower, drizzle with the olive oil, and serve.

Although frequently served in private homes in Italy, this delicious no-cook dessert isn’t usually available in restaurants so few Americans have ever tasted it.
