Ingredients

For the cauliflower

1 large head cauliflower cut into florets
1 tablespoon avocado oil or other oil of choice
Salt & Pepper to taste

For the Harissa Tahini Sauce

¼ cup tahini
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 clove garlic very finely chopped
½ to 1 tablespoon harissa paste depending on your spice preference
½ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon dried dill optional, for extra herbiness

For the garnish

2 to 3 Medjool dates pitted and cut into small pieces
3 tablespoons shelled pistachios chopped
2 tablespoons fresh dill chopped finely
1-2 tablespoons fresh mint chopped finely, optional

Instructions

For the cauliflower

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Toss the cauliflower florets with avocado oil, salt, and pepper.
1 large head cauliflower, 1 tablespoon avocado oil, Salt & Pepper
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is golden and just starting to char in a few spots.
While the cauliflower is baking, make the sauce: whisk all of the sauce ingredients together in a bowl, along with 2 to 3 tablespoons of water, or enough to get to a thick but pourable consistency.
¼ cup tahini, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 1 clove garlic, ½ to 1 tablespoon harissa paste, ½ teaspoon sea salt, ¼ teaspoon dried dill
When the cauliflower is done, transfer to a bowl and drizzle with half of the dressing, along with the dates and pistachios. Toss gently, and add more dressing to taste.
2 to 3 Medjool dates, 3 tablespoons shelled pistachios
Garnish with fresh dill and mint, and serve immediately! Enjoy.
2 tablespoons fresh dill, 1-2 tablespoons fresh mint
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
