My mistake, that should say one head of garlic. And I will definitely try this recipe again after roasting the hazelnuts; perhaps using <a href="http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/buttertoasted-hazelnuts-recipe.html" rel="nofollow">Heidi's recipe.</a> Ahh, good eye!

Where does your one clove of roasted garlic come from? Are you telling me you first fire up your entire oven just to roast one piddly little clove? Or is there some way you buy it pre-roasted? Or is it a whole head of garlic you are pre-roasting, then putting in your sauce?<br /><br />Re: hazelnuts: They are very compatible with cauliflower. I once tried an awesome recipe from Nancy Silverton's sandwich book that was an open-faced sandwich with salty garlicky creamed cauliflower topped with chopped roasted hazelnuts. It was to die for. <br /><br />Incidentally, toasting the hazelnuts really brings out the flavor. You haven't really tried a hazelnut till you've had it toasted. I would describe the flavor as rich and, um, nutty, with a hint of bitterness in there somewhere. I'm a huge fan. OK, I have a question here. Where does your one clove of roasted garlic come from?

Incidentally, toasting the hazelnuts really brings out the flavor. You haven’t really tried a hazelnut till you’ve had it toasted. I would describe the flavor as rich and, um, nutty, with a hint of bitterness in there somewhere. I’m a huge fan.

It seems to enhance a flavor while staying in the background. I wouldn't expect the hazelnuts in this recipe to remind you of Nutella.

They're often paired with things like chocolate or coffee. Sorry, not much help there. Hazelnuts are definitely crunchy and that won’t change after baking.
