Method
- 1
Heat the oven as high as it goes. Tear the cauliflower into florets with your hands so there are ragged edges to catch.
- 2
Toss with the oil, cumin and plenty of salt, spread out in one layer, and roast until the tips are properly blackened.
⏱ 35:00One layer or it steams. Two trays if you must. The black bits are the point, so go past golden.
- 3
Whisk the tahini with the juice of the lemon, the grated garlic and enough cold water to make it pourable.
- 4
Spread the tahini on the plate, pile the cauliflower on top, spoon over the chilli oil, then the herbs and seeds.
Swaps
- Tahini → Thick yoghurt — Not vegan then
Salt the cauliflower more than feels right. It is a lot of vegetable and the tahini is mild.
