Roasted Cauliflower With Tahini And Almonds

1. 1

   Toast the almonds in a hot, dry pan until golden and set aside.

2. 2

   Set your oven to 400u00b0F (200u00b0C).

3. 3

   Cut out the cauliflower's core, snap into forkable florets and place in a roomy bowl. Drizzle over the olive oil and toss gently until well coated.

4. 4

   Add the cumin, coriander and turmeric. Toss again, using a utensil to avoid yellow-stained hands.

5. 5

   Meanwhile, make the dressing. Using the same bowl, mix the tahini paste and lemon juice together. It will both split and thicken at first; just keep beating until it comes together smoothly. Add 1 tablespoon of water, and adjust to give it the consistency of thin mayonnaise (if it is too thick, the cauliflower will break apart when you dress it). Season with a pinch of salt and a pinch of cumin. Taste: there should be a good balance of sesame and lemon, so adjust as necessary.

6. 6

   When the cauliflower is cooked, carefully tip into the dressing and toss gently. Add the parsley leaves and most of the almonds, tossing again, being careful to not break it up too much. Finish with the remaining toasted almonds.
