1
Preheat an oven to 425u00b0F.
2
Core the cauliflower heads and cut into florets. Place on a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with 2 Tbs. of the olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast, turning once, until just tender, 25 to 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 Tbs. olive oil, the vinegar and lemon juice. Season the vinaigrette with salt and pepper and stir in the raisins.
4
Transfer the warm cauliflower to a serving dish and drizzle with the vinaigrette. Sprinkle with the parsley, lemon zest and pine nuts. To marry the flavors, let cool to room temperature before serving. Serves 8.

Variation: Capers or pitted and chopped green olives can be substituted for the raisins. A sprinkle of red pepper flakes is a welcome addition for anyone who likes spicy food.
