Tumeric and Cumin Roasted Cauliflower (Vegan)

This beautifully colourful and flavourful Turmeric and Cumin Roasted Cauliflower is a recipe from this month's The Simple Things. Thus, when I found a beautiful cauliflower at the market the other day, I knew I'd try it, and what a good idea it was! It is bright and fragrant, and roasting the cauliflower means it retains its nutty taste and a delightful bite. It is warming and filling -like a proper- but not too rich; perhaps just the kind of thing one needs after a morning spent treading through the snow --what a joy!-- to watch birds with one's new binoculars at the park, over a partially frozen pond! Happy Thursday!

Ingredients (serves 2):

a small, beautiful cauliflower

1 teaspoon ground turmeric

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 teaspoon fleur de sel or sea salt flakes

1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

1 large garlic clove, minced

3 tablespoons olive oil

a few stalks fresh Cilantro 

Trim off the cauliflower's leaves and stalk. (Keep them to make a fragrant Vegetable Broth.)

Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil, over a high flame.

Once boiling, plunge in the cauliflower so it is submerged. Cover with a lid, and cook, 5 minutes.

Turn of the heat and lift the cauliflower out of the water. Place a steaming basket over the hot water and place the cauliflower onto it. Allow to steam-dry, about 20 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 220°C/430°F.

In a small bowl, combine ground turmeric, ground cumin, fleur de sel, black pepper and minced garlic. Stir in olive oil until well-blended. Set aside.

Line a baking tray with baking paper, and sit the cauliflower in the middle of it. Generously brush with spice and oil mixture.

Place in the middle of the hot oven, and roast, at 220°C/430°F, 30 to 35 minutes until golden brown.

Finely chop Garden Cilantro.

Serve Turmeric and Cumin Roasted Cauliflower hot, sprinkled with Cilantro, and yoghurt, if you wish.
