Spiced Cauliflower Roast Food

SPICED CAULIFLOWER ROAST

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.

SPICED ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH FETA AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Slice cauliflower lengthwise into ½-inch thick slices, including the core and leaves. (Some of the first slices will crumble and fall apart. This is O.K., and will be useful when you want those crispier bits.)
• Place cauliflower (slices and crumbles) and garlic on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with fennel seed, turmeric and red-pepper flakes, and season with salt and pepper.
• Roast, without disturbing, until cauliflower has turned a deep golden brown and crisped up in spots, 25 to 30 minutes. Using a spatula, flip the larger steaks and stir the smaller bits around and continue to roast until completely and evenly browned, another 8 to 10 minutes.
• Remove from heat and transfer to a large serving platter. Top with feta, herbs and a drizzle of olive oil.

SPICY ROASTED CAULIFLOWER RECIPE

ROASTED SPICED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. In a small bowl, mix together the ras el hanout, cinnamon, paprika, garlic, oil and yogurt. Take the cauliflower and remove the outer leaves and the base of the stalk so that it sits flat in a large roasting tin. Rub the spiced yogurt mixture all over it then pour 100ml water into the roasting tin around the base of the cauliflower. Cover with foil and bake in the oven for 45 mins.
• Meanwhile, put the tahini in a bowl and slowly add the lemon juice, stirring constantly, to make a smooth sauce - it should be the consistency of single cream. Chill until needed.
• When the cauliflower has roasted, remove the foil and return to the oven for a further 10-15 mins. Put the chickpeas in a saucepan with 50ml water and cook over a medium heat until piping hot. Season, then crush with a potato masher - you want some to be smooth and others to be just a little broken. Stir in 1 tsp of the tahini sauce.
• Take the cauliflower out of the oven and put the pitta bread in to warm for 2-3 mins while you cut the cauliflower into 8 wedges.
• To serve, place a warmed pitta bread on each plate, top with the crushed chickpeas followed by the cauliflower wedges. Drizzle with the remaining tahini sauce and sprinkle over the pomegranate seeds, sunflower seeds and herbs. Serve warm or cold.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH CUMIN, CORIANDER AND ALMONDS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 200°C/400°F/gas 6. Blanch the cauliflower in salted boiling water for a couple of minutes then drain in a colander, allowing it to steam dry (you don't want any water left in your cauliflower or it won't roast properly). Toss it in a good lug of olive oil and the butter. In a pestle and mortar, bash your spices and chillies with a pinch of salt, then mix them with your almonds and put in a hot, dry ovenproof pan to slowly toast them. After a couple of minutes, add the cauliflower. When it gets a nice bit of colour on it, add the lemon zest and juice and mix around well. Fry for about a minute longer then pop the pan into the preheated oven for about 15 minutes to crisp up.

GARLIC ROASTED CAULIFLOWER STEAKS WITH BASIL OIL

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to boil. While that is heating, make an ice bath by filling a large bowl with water and ice.
• Add the fresh basil to the boiling water and cook for 1 minute. Immediately remove the basil with a slotted spoon and place it in the ice water. This process blanches the basil to bring the color to life and remove the overly grassy taste.
• Thoroughly dry the basil with a tea towel.
• In a blender, puree the basil and oil until smooth.
• Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Remove the outer green leaves from the cauliflower and trim the stem to make it flat, but leave as much intact as possible.
• Place the cauliflower stem side down, and cut in half (starting at the top of the florets, and cutting through the stem at the bottom) with a large knife. Cut two 1½-inch "steaks" from each half, so you end up with 4 "steaks." Any remaining florets can also be roasted.
• Place the cauliflower "steaks" on your prepared baking sheet.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, flakes, salt, black pepper, and crushed pepper or paprika.
• Brush half of the olive oil mixture over the tops of the cauliflower steaks. Flip the "steaks," and brush with the remaining olive oil mixture.
• Roast the cauliflower for 15 minutes. Gently flip each "steak" and continue roasting until browned, about 15 to 20 minutes.
• Serve topped with the basil oil. Optionally garnish with parsley.
