Ingredients

Servings
  • 700 gm cauliflower 1 whole) 24 oz, broken into florets
  • 1 bunch'/ punnet carrot 1 bunch approx 6 to 8, baby
  • 100 gm olives Pitted mixed or black or green. 3.5oz
  • 1 1/2 tsp sumac
  • 1 tsp cumin ground
  • 2 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2-1 tsp salt flaked sea salt is best
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper fresh ground
  • 40 ml lemon juice 2 Tablsp
  • 80 ml olive oil 4 Tbspn
  • 3 pieces preserved lemon 1/4 pieces skin only, chopped
  • 20 gm honey 1 Tablespoon
  • 50 gm pistachios 1.7oz, roasted and chopped
  • 60 ml extra virgin olive oil 3 Tablsp
  • 20 ml lemon juice 1 Tablsp, extra
  • 1/2 bunch parsley rough chopped
  • honey extra, to taste

Instructions

  1. Set the oven to 170C/ 340 F.
  2. Put the garlic powder, sumac, coriander, cumin, salt, and pepper into a small dish and mix well
  3. Put the 80 ml of olive oil, lemon juice, preserved lemon and just warmed honey into another dish and stir
  4. Put cauliflower florets, baby carrots (washed but not peeled) cut in halves if long with the olives into a bowl and toss them with the dry spices. Add the wet flavourings and toss again.
  5. Pour all of the vegetables onto a paper lined tray ( or two if you are making a large amount) and roast until the cauliflower starts to brown and crisp up. The carróts will stay a bit firm, and that's perfect, approximately 30 minutes
  6. Pour all of the vegetables back into the bowl they came out of. Mix the extra lemon and oil, add a bit of salt and pepper to it ( and a bit more honey to taste). Add this along with chopped parsley and toss well
  7. Put onto a plate or a bowl and sprinkle with chopped pistachios and extra flaked salt.

Notes

  • Add finely sliced Spanish onion or green onions if you like
  • Add more baby carrots if you love them- up to another bunch
  • Chopped coriander also works nicely
  • Flaked sea salt always seasons roasted vegetables better when cooking
  • You could also finish this salad with a drizzle of caramelised balsamic or pomegranate molasses
  • Double the amount of dressing can be made if you like a salad coated in lots of the stuff or if you want to pass extra dressing around
  • Double the amount of dressing can be made if you like a salad coated in lots of the stuff or if you want to pass extra dressing around
  • Add extra parsley or baby rocket if you like extra green
