Pro Tips:

• Manipulate the flavor by adding more or less of each ingredient. More honey for more sweetness, more mustard greens for spicy flavor.

2. Pulse the blender a couple of times to get it started.
3. Add honey.
4. Add pine nuts.
5. Add about a tablespoon of miso. Use either red or white.
6. Add salt to season.
7. Add roasted or fresh garlic.
8. Puree ingredients until you get the thickness you want.
9. Blend with olive oil to improve texture, if necessary.

Plate the Cauliflower

1. Use a shallow bowl with a wide base to incorporate all the ingredients.
2. Start by placing the Pistou in the bottom of the bowl. Cover the base of the bowl in the sauce.
3. Season the Cauliflower with a pinch of salt
4. Place the Cauliflower around the bowl directly on top of the sauce.
5. Place bits of Buratta on top the Cauliflower
6. Add sage
7. Add pine nuts
