Categories     side-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

3 ounces butter
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 head cauliflower
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup almonds, chopped
1/2 cup golden raisins
1 lime, zested and juiced
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons tahini
1/4 cup dill, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 clove garlic, minced
Juice of 1 lemon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup cilantro leaves
1 cup mint leaves
1 Fresno chile, sliced

Steps:

  • For the cauliflower: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Heat the butter and olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat until the butter melts. Add the garlic and curry powder and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Make a small foil ring wide enough to hold up the base of the cauliflower a little. Put the foil ring in a large saute pan and place the cauliflower on top. Season the cauliflower with salt and pepper. Pour all but 1/4 cup of the curry butter over the cauliflower. Roast the cauliflower for 10 minutes, then baste with some of the curry butter on the bottom of the pan. Continue to roast and baste until the cauliflower is tender, about 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add the almonds and raisins to the remaining curry butter in the saucepan and cook over medium heat until the nuts are toasted and the raisins are plump, about 3 minutes. Stir in the lime juice.
  • Remove the cauliflower to a serving platter and drizzle with any remaining butter from the saute pan. Top with the nut, raisin and curry butter mixture and sprinkle with the lime zest.
  • For the yogurt-tahini sauce: Whisk together the yogurt, olive oil, tahini, dill, cumin, garlic and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Drizzle the cauliflower with the yogurt-tahini sauce and garnish with the cilantro, mint and chiles.

Yield Makes 4 side-dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 (1 3/4-lb) head cauliflower, cut into 3/4-inch-wide florets
1 1/4 lb Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
5 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 teaspoons minced fresh jalapeño, including seeds
2 teaspoons minced peeled fresh ginger
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 cup water
Accompaniment: lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in upper third of oven and place a shallow baking pan on rack. Preheat oven to 475°F.
  • Toss cauliflower and potatoes together in a bowl with 3 tablespoons oil, cumin seeds, and1/4 teaspoon salt. Spread in hot baking pan and roast, stirring occasionally, until cauliflower is tender and browned in spots and potatoes are just tender, about 20 minutes.
  • While vegetables are roasting, cook onion, garlic, jalapeño, and ginger in remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until very soft and beginning to turn golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Add ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, cayenne, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring constantly, 2 minutes. Stir in water, scraping up any brown bits from bottom of skillet, then stir in roasted vegetables. Cook, covered, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right vegetables: Sweet potatoes and cauliflower are great choices for roasting, as they hold their shape well and caramelize beautifully. You can also try other vegetables like butternut squash, carrots, or parsnips.
  • Cut the vegetables into even-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If the pieces are too large, they will take longer to cook and may not get as crispy.
  • Toss the vegetables with oil and spices: This will help them to brown and develop flavor. You can use any type of oil you like, but olive oil is a good choice. For the spices, use a blend of curry powder, cumin, coriander, and turmeric. You can also add a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Roast the vegetables at a high temperature: This will help them to caramelize and get crispy. The ideal temperature is 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).
  • Roast the vegetables until they are tender and slightly browned: This usually takes about 20-25 minutes. You can check the vegetables by piercing them with a fork. If the fork goes through easily, they are done.
  • Serve the vegetables immediately: Roasted vegetables are best served hot. You can sprinkle them with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley, before serving.

Conclusion:

Roasted curry-spiced sweet potatoes and cauliflower is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and packed with flavor. The curry spices give the vegetables a warm and inviting flavor, while the roasting process caramelizes them and brings out their natural sweetness.
