Often seen as a colorless part of the crowd on a vegetable platter, cauliflower truly shines in its starring roles in dishes from Sardinia to India. It's so omnipresent at the grocery store that it's easy to forget that it has a distinctive growing season and will be in abundance in the autumn. Try roasting or mashing cauliflower for a quick side dish or cooking it long and slow with bold spices for a different take on this healthy veggie. Cauliflower keeps for up to five days in the refrigerator crisper and look for heads with tightly-packed florets that are free of yellow spots.
