Categories     Side

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 head cauliflower (cored and divided into small florets)
Private Reserve Greek extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp harissa spice
Salt and pepper
1 to 2 tbsp lemon juice (or juice of 1/2 to 1 lemon to your liking)
Handful fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
1/4 cup/30 g toasted pine nuts (or toasted slivered almonds, optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to anywhere between 450 to 475 degrees F (or 250 degrees C)
  • Place the cauliflower florets on a large baking sheet. Drizzle extra virgin olive oil and toss to make sure florets are coated, add more EVOO as needed but don't overdo it!
  • Combine the cumin and harissa in a small dish. Season cauliflower with the spice mixture and a generous pinch of salt and black pepper. Toss again to combine. Spread cauliflower florets well on the baking sheet so that they are in one layer.
  • Cover the baking sheet with foil and place on the middle rack of your heated oven. Roast covered for 15 minutes, then carefully remove the foil and return the baking sheet to the oven. Roast for another 20 to 30 minutes or so, occasionally rotating the baking sheet and turning cauliflower florets over, using a pair of tongs. (Cauliflower should be so tender and caramelized or even charred in some parts).
  • If serving with tahini, use the roasting time to make tahini sauce according to this recipe.
  • Remove from heat and carefully transfer roasted cauliflower to a serving dish. Immediately add the lemon juice, a little drizzle of tahini (if you like), toasted nuts and a little fresh parsley for garnish. If you're like me and want even more flavor, sprinkle a bit more harissa spice.
  • Serve the tahini sauce in a bowl on the side for dipping.

SPICY CAULIFLOWER WITH GINGER, CUMIN AND TOMATOES



Spicy Cauliflower With Ginger, Cumin and Tomatoes image

Cauliflower lends itself well to curries, and the combination of cauliflower and turmeric, an essential spice in curries, has an added health benefit for men. Studies sited on the World's Healthiest Foods website (whfoods.com), have shown that the main phytonutrient in turmeric (curcumin) and a phytonutrient that is abundant in cruciferous vegetables (phenethyl isothiocyanates), when taken together can be effective in preventing prostate cancer and also in inhibiting the spread of established prostate cancer cells. Serve this chile-laced stir-fry with rice or other grains, and with flat Indian bread.

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large cauliflower (1 3/4 to 2 pounds), broken into florets

1/2 teaspoon turmeric
Salt to taste

Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon whole cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus additional
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Plain yogurt, for serving
Chopped fresh mint leaves, for serving
Pomegranate seeds, for serving

Steps:

  • 2. Whisk a pinch of salt into the yogurt. Dollop the yogurt on top of the cauliflower and strew the mint and pomegranate seeds over the yogurt.

Tips:

  • Look for fresh, firm cauliflower heads with tightly closed florets and no signs of yellowing or bruising.
  • To keep the cauliflower white and crisp, blanch it in boiling water for 2-3 minutes before cooking.
  • If you don't have cumin seeds, you can use ground cumin instead. Just add it at the beginning of the cooking process so that it has time to develop its flavor.
  • You can adjust the amount of spice in this dish to your liking. If you want it milder, use less cumin seeds or cayenne pepper. If you want it spicier, add more.
  • Cauliflower with cumin seeds can be served as a side dish or a main course. It's also great as a topping for salads, tacos, or burritos.

Cauliflower with cumin seeds is a delicious, healthy, and versatile dish that's easy to make. It's a great way to use up leftover cauliflower, and it's also a good option for vegetarians and vegans.
