Pan-Roasted Cauliflower and American Caviar

Even prior to the moratorium on Russian caviar, we looked to the Americas for our “black pearls.” We have discovered what we believe to be the very best in the volcanic springs of Idaho’s Magic Valley. Here, the Transmontanus Rex (Latin for “King of the White Sturgeon”) produces eggs which are both rich and complex, a delicate crispness that pairs perfectly with Jordan Chardonnay. Florets of pan-roasted cauliflower serve as a warm and unexpected backdrop for this festive and elegant holiday dish.

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp unsalted butter

  • 1 Tbsp Jordan Extra Virgin Olive Oil

  • 1 head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets

  • 6 ounces Transmontanus Rex caviar*

  • 1 bunch chervil leaves

*Transmontanus Rex caviar is available through Plaza De Caviar

Heat butter and olive oil over medium-high flame until foam subsides.
