I just saw this appetizer at food blog The Meaning of Pie, and my mouth started watering. What a smart way to make a vegetable into a crowd-pleasing, addictive appetizer. I don't think these would last long, at one of my parties.
This is a simple recipe that could also, quite frankly, serve as a dinner dish. Kelly wrapped slices of pancetta around sage leaves and cauliflower chunks, and then roasted everything in a hot oven for about 25 minutes. The result is little nuggets of tender, juicy cauliflower infused with the flavors of sage and pork. Yum yum!
This would be such a simple dish for a party, and a lovely yet addictively-delicious way to add some more vegetables to a party.

Ooohh....this looks VERY good.
These look great now I'm hungry, thanks :)
oh yes yes, please. important tip, and exactly what i'm going to do when i make these -- pan fry the pancetta a bit then fry the sage leaves in the fat. maybe this will just end up the same result as roasting it all together? in any event, i discovered frying sage in bacon fat a bit ago and was very happy it happened.
These look so fantastic! I'm pinning them to Pinterest so I'll remember to give them a try soon.
