Roasted Za’Atar Cauliflower with Golden Tahini Harissa sauce

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Two amazing partners right here. Beautifully roasted Za’atar Cauliflower with Golden Tahini Harissa Sauce and a sprinkling of sweet Medjool dates. A perfect match. This dish appeals to everyone. Serve with couscous in a bowl for our vegetarian friends. Serve with grilled lamb chops for our meat eating friends. Extremely versatile and extremely delicious. Make it today, todaaayy.

For those not familiar with Za’atar spice blend, (also spelled Zaatar) it’s a blend that is often used in Middle Eastern cuisine. It’s smoky and herbal all at the same time. The blend I use has Sumac, Thyme, White Sesame seeds, and salt. There are regional variances for this spice blend and you can easily make your own at home. The blend I use I buy from Penzeys, which is a spice shop here in Torrance.

We have been eating a lot of Cauliflower lately. As we know it’s really the chameleon of the vegetable world. I still surprise myself at how easily you can incorporate this vegetable into so many dishes, cuisines and pretty much always get an amazing outcome. For this dish, I’ve roasted a whole Cauliflower head with olive oil and a generous amount of Za’atar spice blend. Then topped it with an amazing Golden Tahini Harissa Sauce and added chopped dates to accent the dish. The result after several tries is delicious. It’s a tastebud overload, but in a really good way. Not to mention that the sauce will be one of your new favorites!

This is a really easy dish to cook. The cauliflower takes about 25 minutes or so to roast and the sauce comes together in a couple of minutes. You can substitute the dates for golden raisins. It will be just as delicious!
