Serves of fruit (per serve)4
Serves of vegetables (per serve)Ingredients
- Whole Roasted Cauliflower:
- 1 whole cauliflower (including leaves)
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp turmeric (ground)
- ½ tsp chilli flakes
- Pinch salt
- Cracked black pepper
- ----
- Tahini Sauce:
- ½ cup plain Greek yoghurt
- 3 tbsp unhulled tahini
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Juice of ½ lemon
- ----
- To serve:
- ½ cup raw mixed nuts (e.g. pistachios, almonds, hazelnuts)
- ½ cup fresh rocket
- Handful fresh mint leaves
- 2 tbsp pomegranate seeds
Method
- Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray and trim cauliflower stem so it sits steady on the tray.
- Combine the turmeric, chilli flakes, olive oil, salt and pepper in a small bowl and stir to combine.
- Pour oil mixture over the cauliflower and massage in well with your hands. Place in the oven and bake for 20-30 minutes or until golden.
- Prepare the tahini sauce by mixing together the yoghurt, tahini, olive oil and lemon juice in a small bowl.
- Lightly crush the mixed nuts. Use a mortar and pestle to pound them if you have one available, or crush them with a rolling pin or the back of a knife.
- After the cauliflower has been in the oven for about 20-30 minutes, scatter the nuts on the tray, reduce the heat to 130°C and bake for another 15-20 minutes. The nuts should be lightly roasted and check to see if the cauliflower is cooked by gently pushing a fork through the top (it should pass through easily).
- To serve, create a smear of tahini sauce over a large plate and place cauliflower on top in the centre. Garnish with some fresh rocket and torn mint leaves, sprinkle over the roasted nuts and pomegranate seeds.
Recipe Notes
Look out for budget-friendly swaps. Choose mixed nuts from your kitchen pantry, or pick up the most affordable option from your local supermarket. Or try swapping the pomegranate seeds for dried or fresh cranberries.
