Honey Lemon Glazed Cauliflower

Use whatever variety of honey that you like best
a mild variety such as clover,
or one with a stronger flavor like chestnut.

Ingredients:
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium head cauliflower (1-1/4 lb.), cored and cut into 1-inch florets (about 7 cups)
Kosher salt
1 medium red onion, finely diced
2 Tbs. honey
1 tsp. ground coriander
1/2 tsp. sweet smoked paprika
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
2 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp. finely grated lemon zest
1 Tbs. chopped fresh cilantro

Directions:
Heat 3 Tbs. of the oil in a heavy duty 12-inch skillet,medium-high heat. Add the cauliflower and 1/2 tsp. salt and stir to coat.
Cook, without stirring, until the cauliflower is browned on one side.
Turn each piece over and cook, without stirring,
until evenly browned on the second side, about 4 minutes more.
Reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking, stirring often,
until browned all over, about 4 minutes longer.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir 2 Tbs. water
and the remaining 1 Tbs. oil with the onion,
honey, coriander, paprika, and pepper flakes.
Add the onion mixture to the skillet and cook,
stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened, about 1 minute. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until most of the liquid has evaporated and the cauliflower is glazed, about 4 minutes.
Transfer to a serving bowl, stir in the lemon juice and zest,
and garnish with the cilantro. Serve immediately.
