Root to Stem
Spiced Cauliflower, Hazelnuts & Feta
Recipe / Georgia Harding
I love using every part of the cauliflower. Each bit is equally delicious and it’s such a versatile vegetable. This dish is fabulous to make ahead when you’re entertaining or eat straight out of the oven for a midweek meal.
Serves: 4 as a side
1 medium head cauliflower
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp sea salt
Black pepper, to taste
½ cup raw hazelnuts
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
200g cow or goat feta
Zest 1 lemon + ½ juice
Handful parsley leaves
Preheat oven to 180°C.
Take cauliflower head and strip off leaves, slicing them into 1cm pieces and set aside in large mixing bowl.
Cut outermost florets off (so you have very small florets) and add to mixing bowl with leaves.
With remaining part of cauliflower (stem), chop roughly and pulse in food processor to consistency of rice.
Add to other ingredients with spices, seasoning, nuts and oil.
Toss well to combine and place on large baking tray.
Bake for 20 mins or until cauliflower is just starting to brown.
Remove from oven and crumble over feta, sprinkle over lemon zest and drizzle over juice.
Scatter over parsley and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
The pecans in this dish set off the taste of the beetroot perfectly as well as providing a protein hit.
