Cauliflower with Rye CrumbsJohn Kernick

Caraway seeds are often baked into and on top of rye bread, their nutty, spicy fragrance accenting ryes earthiness. Here, the natural duo crisps in a pan of melted butter before topping steamed cauliflower. In this elegant, simple side dish, crunchy rye crumbs give way to succulent florets and bring out their natural sweetness

Cooks note:

Crumbs can be toasted 1 day ahead and kept in a sealable plastic bag at room temperature.
