Curry Roasted Cauliflower With Minty Yogurt Sauce Recipes

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER IN CURRY YOGURT SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Place the cauliflower florets on a large baking sheet in toss in the olive oil and salt and pepper. Bake covered for 10 minutes and uncovered for another 10 minutes until they start to brown.
• While the cauliflower is cooking, add the yogurt, mustard, turmeric, curry powder, zaatar, lemon juice, paprika, Italian seasoning, garlic, onion powder and mayonnaise to a medium bowl. Whisk together until the ingredients are fully incorporated. The sauce will be bright yellow.
• When the cauliflower is done, place it directly into the sauce and toss until fully coated. Andrew and I eat this straight out of the bowl but it's also fantastic tossed in rice. I've also made it as a fried rice where i stir fry the rice with the cauliflower and then toss it in the sauce.

CURRY SPICED WHOLE ROASTED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• For the cauliflower: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Heat the butter and olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat until the butter melts. Add the garlic and curry powder and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Make a small foil ring wide enough to hold up the base of the cauliflower a little. Put the foil ring in a large saute pan and place the cauliflower on top. Season the cauliflower with salt and pepper. Pour all but 1/4 cup of the curry butter over the cauliflower. Roast the cauliflower for 10 minutes, then baste with some of the curry butter on the bottom of the pan. Continue to roast and baste until the cauliflower is tender, about 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the almonds and raisins to the remaining curry butter in the saucepan and cook over medium heat until the nuts are toasted and the raisins are plump, about 3 minutes. Stir in the lime juice.
• Remove the cauliflower to a serving platter and drizzle with any remaining butter from the saute pan. Top with the nut, raisin and curry butter mixture and sprinkle with the lime zest.
• For the yogurt-tahini sauce: Whisk together the yogurt, olive oil, tahini, dill, cumin, garlic and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• Drizzle the cauliflower with the yogurt-tahini sauce and garnish with the cilantro, mint and chiles.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH CURRY YOGURT SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the oven rack to lowest postion. Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. Trim off the leaves and tough ends, cut the cauliflower into 8 equal parts. Place the cauliflower onto a baking sheet lined with a large piece of foil. Drizzle half of the olive oil over the cauliflower. Turn over the cauliflower, drizzle the remaining oil over, then season with salt and freshly ground black. Using another piece of foil covers the cauliflower completely. Roast 10 minutes, remove the foil, and continue roasting for 10 minutes. Using tongs turns the cauliflower over, and continue roasting for another 10 minutes until the cauliflower turns into golden and brown on almost all sides and tender-crisp. Remove from the oven. To make the sauce: While the cauliflower is roasting, heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a nonstick skillet until hot. Add the red onion and garlic, stirring, and cook for about 2 minutes until fragrant and onions start becoming soft. Add the curry powder and cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to taste, stirring, and cook for another 1 minute. Remove the pan from heat. Stir in the water, yogurt, lime juice and cilantro until well mixed. Place roasted cauliflower onto a serving platter. Drizzle with sauce, season with salt and black pepper to taste. Drizzle with more lime juice if desired.
