Cannellini Beans Roasted Cauliflower in Lemon-Tahini Sauce
This is a great night time quick, easy dish … AMAZING leftover next day for lunch.
* 1 large head cauliflower, cut into 1-inch florets (about 1 1/2 lb.)
* 4 tsp. olive oil, divided
* 2 cloves garlic, minced (about 2 tsp.)
* 2 Tbs. tahini
* 1 Tbs. lemon juice
* 1/4 tsp. salt
* 1 Tbs. chopped parsley
* 1 tsp. toasted sesame seeds
1. Place oven rack in top position. Preheat oven to 425F.
2. Toss cauliflower with 2 tsp. olive oil, and season with salt. Spread on large cookie sheet, and bake 12 to 15 minutes, or until cauliflower is fork-tender and slightly browned.
3. Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 tsp. olive oil in small saucepan over medium heat. Sauté garlic in oil 1 to 2 minutes, or until fragrant. Stir in tahini, beans, lemon juice, 5 Tbs. water and salt. Simmer over low heat 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
4. Divide cauliflower among plates. Whisk sauce, then spoon over cauliflower. Sprinkle with parsley and sesame seeds, and serve.
This sounds really yummy Alyssa. One question – how much cannellini beans do you use in this? Thanks!
This is so yummy. I mean amazingly yummy and creamy. A half a can rinsed works. Double recipe and use whole can.
