Equipment
- Whisk
- Sharp knife
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower cut into small florets (900 grams)
- 1 ½ tablespoons harissa paste
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 40 mL lemon juice approx. 1 lemon
- 40 mL extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes
- 1 tablespoon corn flour
Garlic Tahini Yoghurt
- ¼ cup hulled tahini
- 1 cup natural yoghurt
- 1 clove garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon sea salt flakes
- 20 mL lemon juice approx. half of a lemon
To serve
- fresh coriander finely chopped
- ¼ cup slivered almonds toasted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (conventional). Line a large baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
- To a small bowl add the harissa, honey, cumin seeds, lemon juice, olive oil and salt. Whisk to combine.
- Tip the cauliflower florets into a large bowl and top with the corn flour. Toss to coat as evenly as possible. Tip the cauliflower out onto the baking tray and drizzle the marinade over the top. Use either clean hands to toss the cauliflower florets in the marinade until they’re evenly coated or use a basting brush to brush each piece of cauliflower.
- Spread the cauliflower florets out into a single layer. Place the tray onto the top shelf of the oven for 30 minutes and then switch to the bottom shelf for another 20 minutes, tossing the cauliflower at this point to cook evenly. Once baked, remove from the oven.
- Meanwhile, make the tahini yoghurt. Add the tahini, yoghurt, garlic, salt and lemon juice to a medium bowl and whisk to combine.
- To serve, spoon the tahini yoghurt onto a serving platter and spread out into a thick layer. Top with the warm harissa roasted cauliflower and then finely chopped coriander and toasted almonds.
