Roasted Cauliflower and Broccoli With Salsa Verde image

This recipe came to The Times in 2004, when Julia Moskin wrote a story about the developing culinary culture in McCarthy and Kennicott, two tiny villages in the hinterlands of Alaska. ("Out here, you have a choice," said Mark Vail, a former Air Force cook who lives in McCarthy year-round. "You can live on ramen noodles and baked beans, or you can learn to cook.") Kirsten Richardson, a resident of Kennicott and a cook at the McCarthy Lodge, a local restaurant, developed this brightly-flavored riff on the weeknight vegetable. Just roast the broccoli and cauliflower, toss with a shallot-anchovy vinaigrette and toasted almonds then sprinkle with chopped parsley. It makes a satisfying mostly-meatless main or a delicious accompaniment to roast chicken.

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup whole shelled almonds
1 large head broccoli, cut into florets (about 1 pound florets)
1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets (about 1 pound florets)
10 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided

The roasted vegetables were overcooked and the salsa verde was too runny.

The salsa verde was too salty for my taste.

This dish is a bit bland. I would recommend adding some more spices to the roasted vegetables.
