Cauliflower was the wunderkind of 2015 and 2016 with recipes for cauliflower staeks, cauliflower rice, pizza bases and whole roasted cauliflower. The humble smother of cheese was left way behind in the efforts to glorify this humble veg. As a massive fan of the cheese version my only foray into new recipes was Butter Basted Cauliflower. So wonderful but made with James Martin quantities of butter. Constantly basted in the pan until the cauliflower is cooked, caramelised and succulently buttery.
That was until I discovered Baharat. A Middle Eastern spice that goes well with meat, veg and fish, lending a smoky heat to the dish. In this recipe I’ve topped the roasted cauliflower with a variation on Pangritata to add crunch and freshness. Try my Roasted Baharat Spiced Cauliflower With Pangritata.
