Provided by Sophie Godwin - Cookery writer

Categories     Starter, Vegetable

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 18

50g butter , softened at room temperature
2 tsp chilli flakes
½ tsp sumac
½ tsp allspice
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1 cauliflower (about 1kg)
2 x 400g cans chickpeas , drained and rinsed
small pack flat-leaf parsley , chopped
small pack mint , chopped
small pack coriander , chopped
1 red onion , very finely chopped
200g cherry tomatoes on the vine
50g pine nuts , toasted
pomegranate molasses , for drizzling
100g good-quality feta
100g Greek yogurt
juice ½ lemon

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, beat the butter and spices with a wooden spoon, then set aside.
  • Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/ gas 7. Trim the outer leaves of the cauliflower and remove the very bottom of the root, being careful to keep some of the root attached so the whole cauliflower remains intact. Bring a large pan (big enough to fit the whole cauliflower) filled with salted water to a rolling boil. Cook for 3-4 mins to partially tenderise, then carefully remove with two slotted spoons.
  • Put the cauliflower and chickpeas on a baking tray. Rub the cauliflower with the butter, dot a little over the chickpeas and season everything. Roast in the oven for 35 mins until the chickpeas are crispy, the cauliflower is deep golden-brown, and a cutlery knife can be inserted into the middle easily.
  • Meanwhile, make the feta dressing. In a large bowl, whisk the feta and Greek yogurt until the cheese has completely broken up and the mixture is creamy. Add the lemon juice, whisk again, then season to taste. Chill until needed.
  • Remove the cauliflower and chickpeas from the oven, transfer the cauliflower to a plate, then mix the remaining ingredients, except the pomegranate molasses, with the warm chickpeas on the tray.
  • Arrange the herby chickpeas on a large sharing platter and place the whole cauliflower on top. Spoon over the dressing and drizzle with pomegranate molasses to serve.

SPICY WHOLE ROASTED CAULIFLOWER



Spicy Whole Roasted Cauliflower image

By Erin McDowell, on PureWow.com, January 23, 2014. I was skeptical at first, but we enjoyed the unusual combination of spices, it's sort of a vegetarian version of a tandoori dish. Please note that the first word in the title is "spicy"; if your palate is not accustomed to strong, earthy spice blends, you might consider suggest finding an alternative marinade or cutting back on the amounts of spices for this technique, but if you like robust flavors go whole hog. In my experience, the cauliflower needed 10 or 15 extra minutes to cook, checking for doneness with a metal skewer, and the head I used was a small, organic one. We used the leftover marinade the following day on some broiled chicken.

Categories     Cauliflower

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 head cauliflower
1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt
1 lime, zested and juiced
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon curry powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400° and lightly grease a small baking sheet with vegetable oil. Set aside.
  • Trim the base of the cauliflower to remove any green leaves and the woody stem.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the yogurt with the lime zest and juice, chile powder, cumin, garlic powder, curry powder, salt and pepper.
  • Dunk the cauliflower into the bowl and use a brush or your hands to smear the marinade evenly over its surface. (Excess marinade can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to three days and used with meat, fish or other veggies.).
  • Place the cauliflower on the prepared baking sheet and roast until the surface is dry and lightly browned, 30 to 40 minutes. Test with a skewer to check interior doneness and cook longer if necessary, being careful not to scorch the marinade. The marinade will make a crust on the surface of the cauliflower.
  • Let the cauliflower cool for 10 minutes before cutting it into wedges and serving alongside a big green salad with a lime juice and olive oil dressing.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cauliflower: For the best results, select a head of cauliflower that is firm and compact, with tightly packed florets. Avoid heads with any signs of bruising or discoloration.
  • Roast the cauliflower at a high temperature: This will help to caramelize the florets and give them a delicious crispy texture. Make sure to toss the cauliflower with plenty of olive oil before roasting to prevent it from drying out.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the cauliflower will not roast evenly. Make sure to spread the florets out in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  • Add some spices: Feel free to add some of your favorite spices to the cauliflower before roasting. Some good options include paprika, cumin, garlic powder, or onion powder.
  • Serve with a variety of dipping sauces: Roasted cauliflower is delicious served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as tahini sauce, hummus, or tzatziki sauce.

Spicy Roasted Cauliflower with Wilted Spinach is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a healthy and satisfying side dish, give this recipe a try!
