Arabian Cauliflower With Tahini Recipes

TAHINI CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil and canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cauliflower and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender and golden in spots, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the tahini, yogurt, pomegranate molasses, cumin, cayenne, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl.
• Transfer the cauliflower and garlic to a medium bowl and set aside. Wipe out the skillet and set over low heat.
• Add the tahini mixture and 1/3 cup water to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until smooth and warm, about 3 minutes. Add the cauliflower and garlic and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving platter.
• Combine the sesame seeds and za'atar in a small bowl. Top the cauliflower with the chopped parsley and sesame seed mixture.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH TAHINI YOGURT RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Remove the large, tough outer leaves from cauliflower, and reserve any smaller, tender leaves. Cut cauliflower into medium florets.
• In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with the olive oil, salt, pepper, za'atar, and cumin. Spread in an even layer on 2 baking sheets, making sure the florets have some space between them.
• Roast the cauliflower for 18-22 minutes, until crisp, tender, and browned in spots. Set aside.
• While cauliflower roasts, make the tahini yogurt sauce: Combine the yogurt, tahini, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl and mix well. Set aside or refrigerate until ready to use. The tahini yogurt will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
• To assemble, spread the tahini yogurt almost all the way to the edges of a serving platter. Arrange the cauliflower on top of the yogurt, letting the yogurt peek out on the sides. Scatter the mint, pomegranate seeds, and pine nuts over the cauliflower. Drizzle the olive oil over the cauliflower and serve immediately.
• Enjoy!
