The Dish: Turmeric Roasted Cauliflower

Ingredients:
1 cauliflower
1 tbsp turmeric
1 tbsp kosher salt

Method of Preparation:

  • In a medium sauce pot, combine the water, the salt and the turmeric. Bring to a simmer and immerse the whole cauliflower (including the leaves) in the turmeric water. Cook for 15-20 minutes until tender but not soft. Once cooked, drizzle the cauliflower with olive oil and sprinkle a pinch of turmeric and roast at 450 degrees until the cauliflower is golden brown. Set aside.

  • In a food processor, mix the cilantro, garlic and jalapeno. Process until finely chopped, but not runny. Remove from the food processor and in a mixing bowl, whisk the cilantro with olive oil, cumin, salt and cardamom.

To Plate:
Place the cauliflower on a large plate or serving tray and drizzle the tahini sauce and the cilantro chutney on cauliflower. Top with zaatar and fresh herbs.
