Honeyed Cauliflower with Toasted Almonds

I saw this recipe while browsing through Cook Fresh magazine and couldn't resist. Sweet and tangy with a subtle nuttiness from sauteing the cauliflower - this was great






    Honeyed Cauliflower with Toasted Almonds

    6 Cups Cauliflower Florets. About 1 Head.
    2 tbsp Honey
    2 tbsp Sherry Vinegar
    3 tbsp Olive oil (or coconut oil)
    1 tbsp Fresh Thyme, chopped
    1/4 Lemon
    1/3 Cup sliced almonds, Toasted

Heat oil in skillet over medium heat. Add cauliflower and sprinkle with salt. Toss gently in oil then let alone while they brown, about 3 minutes. Then flip and brown other side. Continue till all sides are browned. Meanwhile, in a small bowl mix honey and vinegar. Raise the heat to medium high and pour honey mixture over florets and toss to coat. Continue tossing until liquid turns to a glaze, about 3 minutes. Remove, season to taste. Squeeze lemon over top and toss in toasted almonds.

I made the cauliflower my main dish by adding some mixed greens on the side and using the excess glaze as a dressing.
