This is the most addictive cauliflower in the world

cauliflower with soy sauce and sesame seeds

Hmm, cauliflower and addiction, they are not the two words I normally use in one sentence. But if I can believe our girlfriends from FavorFlav  then this recipe will ensure that from now on I only want to consume cauliflower. I'm open to it, I'll see you tonight at the vegetable aisle.

‘The bad boy of food’, Anthony Bourdain, would have turned 63 today. A somewhat sad ‘hooray’, a year after his passing. But to brighten things up a bit, we like to honor him with a few of his favorite recipes. Like this addictively delicious cauliflower. R.I.P. Anthony.

Ingredients

  • 1 cauliflower, in loose florets
  • 60 ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp coriander powder (ketoembar)
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • black pepper from the grinder, to taste
  • 2 tbsp tahini
  • 1 tbsp white miso
  • 2 tsp red wine vinegar
  • 1½ tbsp water
  • 3 tbsp toasted white sesame seeds

“This stuff is really addictive. An adult can easily consume an entire cauliflower without any problem,” wrote Bourdain.

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 230 °C.
  2. Place the cauliflower florets with the oil, salt, coriander, oregano, and pepper in a large bowl and mix well.
  3. Arrange the florets with regular spacing on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes, turning and flipping the sheet and florets halfway through.
  4. Meanwhile, whisk together the tahini, miso, vinegar, and 1½ tablespoons of water in a small bowl.
  5. Remove the cooked cauliflower from the oven, scoop the florets into a bowl and toss them with the sauce and sesame seeds.
