Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Arrange the cauliflower on a large, rimmed baking sheet in a single layer.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the pine nuts and cook, stirring, until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Add the raisins and stir until plump, about 30 seconds. Transfer the nut mixture to a large bowl.
- Add the saffron to the skillet with the vinegar and 2 tablespoons of water. Increase the heat to medium-high and simmer until the liquid reduces down to about a tablespoon. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil. Add 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook for 30 seconds. Drizzle the oil mixture all over the cauliflower and toss to coat. Roast until just tender and browned in spots, about 15 minutes.
- Stir the parsley and dill into the bowl with the nuts and raisins. Add the cauliflower, season with salt and pepper and toss together. Serve warm or at room temperature.

SAFFRON ROASTED CAULIFLOWER
Steps:
- Combine the olive oil and saffron in a ramekin. Preheat the oven to 200° C (400° F), and place the ramekin on top of the oven (or some other warm spot) as it preheats, about 10 minutes, so the saffron will impart some of its flavor to the oil. In the meantime, trim the cauliflower and separate it into florets. Spread the florets in a baking pan large enough to accomodate them without overcrowding. Add the vinegar, sprinkle with ras el hanout, and salt. When the oven has finished preheating, add the saffron and olive oil. Toss well to coat and place in the oven to bake for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring every now and then to ensure even roasting, until the tips of the florets are slightly browned and the texture is to your liking -- al dente or soft. Sprinkle with pepper and serve, hot or just barely warm.
