This is one of my favorite dishes from True Foods Kitchen, their roasted cauliflower with harissa, tahini, dates, pistachios, mint and dill. We order it at every visit! It’s a wonderful combination of sweet, salty and savory.
Ingredients:
1 small head of cauliflower, cut into florets
2 cloves garlic, pressed and separated
2 Tbsp. olive oil
⅓ cup tahini
Juice of half a lemon
1 to 2 Tbsp. harissa, depending on spice preference
4 Tbsp. vegetable broth, plus 2 to 3 Tbsp. as needed
½ tsp. salt
3 dates, diced
¼ cup toasted pistachios
2 Tbsp. mint, roughly chopped
2 Tbsp. dill
Directions:
•Oven at 450
•In a medium bowl, toss together the cauliflower florets, 1 clove of garlic and the olive oil. Spread the cauliflower evenly onto the prepared baking sheet and roast for 25 to 30 minutes.
• While the cauliflower roasts, make the tahini-harissa dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining garlic, tahini, lemon juice, harissa, 4 tablespoons vegetable broth and salt. If the dressing is a bit thick and does not easily drizzle off the whisk, add more vegetable broth, 1 tablespoon at a time.
• When the cauliflower is lightly browned and tender, remove it from the oven. Allow it to cool about 5 minutes then transfer to a medium bowl.
• Toss the cauliflower with half of the tahini-harissa dressing then lightly fold in the dates and pistachios. Top with chopped mint and dill and serve immediately.
