An unpretentious side dish that eats like a rich main. Crispy, deeply browned pork belly lardons are tossed with roasted cauliflower florets and finished under a blanket of velvety, savory egg yolk gravy.
Ingredients
4 servings
Smothered Cauliflower
Cauliflower florets400 g
Lard or pork fat2 tbsp
Sea salt1 tsp
Pork Belly Lardons
Pork belly, diced small150 g
Egg Yolk Gravy
Egg yolks3 large
Heavy cream50 ml
Bone broth50 ml
Rendered pork fat from pan2 tbsp
Black pepper, freshly cracked0.5 tsp
Method
Smothered Cauliflower
1
Preheat your oven to 425F. Toss the cauliflower florets in melted lard and sea salt, spreading them evenly onto a baking sheet. Roast for 25 minutes until the edges are deeply caramelized and tender.
Pork Belly Lardons
2
While cauliflower roasts, place the diced pork belly in a cold skillet. Turn the heat to medium-low and cook slowly to render the fat, raising the heat slightly at the end to crisp the lardons. Remove the crispy pork belly with a slotted spoon, keeping the rendered fat in the pan.
Egg Yolk Gravy
3
Whisk egg yolks, heavy cream, bone broth, and black pepper together in a heatproof bowl. Slowly whisk in 2 tablespoons of hot, rendered pork fat from the skillet to emulsify. Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) and whisk constantly for 3 to 5 minutes until the mixture thickens into a glossy, rich gravy.

Toss the roasted cauliflower with the crispy pork belly lardons in a warm serving bowl. Pour the warm egg yolk gravy generously over the top and serve immediately.
