Roasted Turkish Cauliflower Recipe rogershields
- 1 head of cauliflower
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus more to spray
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp ground sumac, or good quality chili powder, or jerk seasoning
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1/8 cup pomegranate juice
- 1/8 cup lemon juice
- 1 tsp to1 tbsp ground cumin, depending on how "middle eastern" you want it
- 1 tsp or more red pepper flakes
- salt and pepper to taste
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- Cut the cauliflower into bite size florets.
- I leave a couple of leaves attached as they get nicely caramelized.
- Spray a baking sheet with olive oil, spread the florets around and sprinkle with salt, garlic powder and sumac.
- Spray the top with more olive oil, cover loosely with foil and roast for 30 to 40 minutes, depending on whether you like your vegetable a bit crunchy or softer.
- Allow to cool.
- In a mixing bowl (I use one of those egg whiskers where you put the ingredients in a jar and shake to mix) put all the other ingredients and whisk to incorporate.
- If youve salted the cauliflower well before roasting you dont need any more salt here
- When cauliflower has cooled, combine in a bowl with the dressing and let sit for 30 minutes or more in the refrigerator to blend the flavors.
- Serve as a side dish at a picnic, or with other mezes in a mediteranean-style dinner.
