Cauliflower Melts

Name: Cauliflower Melts
Ingredients: 1/4 cup olive oil; 2 garlic cloves, minced; 1 teaspoon salt; 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper; Medium head of cauliflower, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slabs, possibly halved to make a total of 8 slabs; 1/2 cup golden raisins; 1/4 cup white wine (optional); 1/4 cup shelled pistachios; 8 1/2-inch-thick slices sourdough bread; 4 ounces Comte or Manchego cheese, cut into 8 slices; 2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Instructions

Raisins have a long shelf life and are great for a boost of energy. I was walking on a cold boardwalk, quite a ways from home, when a pang of hunger attacked. I was wearing my ski jacket-an ideal jacket for the beach in the winter and also ideal for storage with its plentiful pockets for goggles, headphones, keys, money, credit cards, lip balm, sunblock, and Starburst. There are always a few raisins tucked away somewhere (long pocket life?), too; same in this recipe-hidden and sweetly surprising.
