Roast cauliflower with green tahini

Serves: 4
Course: Side Dish
Cooking Time: 0 hr 40 mins

Ingredients

  • (serves 4)
  • Preheat oven to 200°C.
  • 1 head cauliflower
  • good knob butter
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 heaped tsp turmeric
  • big bunch parsley – about 40g
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 175g tahini
  • juice of two lemons
  • 1 tbsp capers, drained

Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Wash and dry the cauliflower and break roughly into florets and put in a roasting tin.

Dot with the butter and drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with turmeric and season really well. Bake for 25-35 minutes until lightly toasted.

Leave aside to cool a little. Meanwhile, blitz all the other ingredients together in a blender to make a dip.

To serve, dip the florets into the dip. An all- out dunking or a mere smear, it’s up to you.
