Time 1h

Yield Serves four to six, with some sauce left over

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large cauliflower, broken into florets
Salt to taste
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 to 3 garlic cloves, to taste, cut in half, green shoots removed
1 cup sesame tahini
1/4 to 3/4 cup fresh lemon juice, to taste
1 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley (2 bunches)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil, and fill a bowl with ice water. When the water comes to a boil, salt generously and add the cauliflower. Blanch for two minutes, and transfer to the ice water. Drain and blot dry. Transfer to a baking dish.
  • Season the cauliflower with salt and pepper, and toss with the olive oil. Place in the oven, and roast for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring from time to time, until tender and lightly browned.
  • Puree the garlic cloves with 1/4 teaspoon salt in a mortar and pestle. Transfer to a bowl, and whisk in the sesame tahini. Whisk in the lemon juice, beginning with the smaller amount. The mixture will stiffen up. Gradually whisk in up to 1/2 cup water, until the sauce has the consistency of thick cream (or runny yogurt). Stir in the parsley. Taste, and adjust salt and lemon juice. Serve with the cauliflower. You will have some sauce left over.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cauliflower: Look for a head of cauliflower that is compact and heavy, with tightly packed florets. Avoid heads with any brown or yellow spots, as these are signs of spoilage.
  • Roast the cauliflower in a hot oven: This will help to caramelize the florets and give them a slightly crispy texture. If you roast the cauliflower at a low temperature, it will become soft and mushy.
  • Make sure the tahini-parsley sauce is well-seasoned: Taste the sauce before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more lemon juice, salt, or pepper.
  • Serve the roasted cauliflower warm or at room temperature: It is also delicious served cold, so it is a great dish to make ahead of time.

Conclusion:

Roasted cauliflower with tahini-parsley sauce is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you serve it as a main course or a side dish, this dish is sure to be a hit.
