Ingredients
Method
Ingredients
- 1 cauliflower
- 1 tbsp + 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp ground turmeric
- 4 cloves + 1 bulb garlic
- Pams Olive Oil
- 1 cup Greek yoghurt
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh mint, roughly chopped
- 1 tbsp sliced almonds, toasted
Method
- Preheat your oven to 180°C fan bake. Trim the outer leaves from the cauliflower, but leave the inner leaves attached. Cut a cross into the stem of the cauliflower and set aside.
- In a small bowl, stir together the paprika, cumin, turmeric and seasoning. Finely chop two garlic cloves and add to the spice mixture along with enough olive oil to form a paste.
- Rub the spice paste over the cauliflower until completely coated, then transfer into a casserole dish. Cover with a lid and place into the oven to bake for 45 minutes, then remove the lid and cook for a further 30-40 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender when tested with a skewer or knife.
- While the cauliflower is roasting, cut the garlic bulb in half horizontally, then wrap in tin foil. Place into the oven with the cauliflower and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the garlic is golden and caramelised.
- Once the garlic has cooked and cooled, squeeze the garlic cloves into a bowl. Add the yoghurt and lemon zest, then stir and season to taste*.
- To serve, place the cauliflower on a serving plate and drizzle with garlic yoghurt. Garnish with parsley, mint and toasted almonds before serving, and enjoy.
*If your yoghurt is too thick to drizzle, thin with a dash of milk or water until it has reached your desired consistency.
