Roasted Cauliflower with Citrus Tahini Sauce

Ingredients:

• 1 cauliflower
• about ¼ cup of olive oil
• salt
• juice of 2 lemons
• zest and juice of ½ an orange (I used a bit more)
• 1 cup water
• ¾ cup tahini
• 3 tbs* olive oil, extra
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 2 medium onions, thinly sliced
• ½ cup toasted pine nuts, to garnish
• ¼ cup chopped pistachios, to garnish

*These are 15 mil tablespoons

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
2. Slice the cauliflower (core included) into thick slices.  Try to keep the slices whole but don’t get too worried if it falls apart a bit.
3. Line a baking tray with baking paper.  Coat the cauliflower with olive oil, season with salt and then spread it out on the tray.
4. Roast the cauliflower until it is golden and crisp and cooked through.  Turn it over half way through.  It should take about 20 minutes.  Try not to break the cauliflower when turning it.
5. In the meantime, mix together the lemon juice, orange juice and zest, water and tahini.  Set aside.
6. In a frying pan, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil and gently sauté the onions and garlic until soft.
7. Pour the tahini sauce over the cooked onions and bring to a simmer.  Cook until the sauce thickens slightly. Taste, and adjust seasoning, if needed.
8. Serve about one quarter of cauliflower to each person.  Drizzle the tahini sauce over the cauliflower and garnish with the toasted nuts and additional orange zest.
