Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon smoked sweet paprika
1 head cauliflower (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1/2 cup chopped serrano ham
1/4 cup toasted sliced and skin-on almonds
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice, plus lemon wedge for garnish

Fold in ham, almonds and lemon juice. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Garnish with a lemon wedge.
