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.

Number Of Ingredients 1

1 bunch Cauliflower

Steps:

  • Cook

Tips for Making the Best Whole Roast Thai Cauliflower:

  • Choose a large, firm head of cauliflower: This will ensure that the cauliflower can hold its shape during roasting.
  • Trim the cauliflower: Remove any leaves and excess stems from the cauliflower.
  • Score the cauliflower: Use a sharp knife to score the cauliflower into 1-inch thick wedges. This will help the marinade penetrate the cauliflower and will make it easier to cut after roasting.
  • Make the marinade: Combine the coconut milk, curry paste, fish sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, and ginger in a large bowl. Whisk until well combined.
  • Marinate the cauliflower: Place the cauliflower in the marinade and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Roast the cauliflower: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the cauliflower on a baking sheet and roast for 30-35 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and slightly charred.
  • Serve: Serve the cauliflower hot with rice or noodles. Garnish with cilantro and lime wedges.

Conclusion:

This Whole Roast Thai Cauliflower is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The cauliflower is roasted until tender and slightly charred, and the Thai marinade gives it a flavorful and spicy kick.
