The weather has
become more autumnal here, and I'm turning to my comforting seasonal
autumn favourites in food. There will be a lot of roasting, stews and
steaming bowls of soup in my near future.
This dish was
widely improvised around the ingredients I had. I bought a green
cauliflower for a change. It's a bit paler than broccoli, and still
tastes like cauliflower, so it sends a confusing message to the
brain. I roasted it with a tahini-lemon-garlic-coriander sauce, which
is always such a good choice, definitely one of my vegan comfort food
favourites!
On the side I
served a large cabbage roulade filled with quinoa and pearled spelt
that were cooked in vegetable stock with onion and garlic and some
spices. It was quite basic and rustic, but actually very tasty. I
just couldn't resist the lovely purple cabbage. Does anyone have good
cabbage recipes by the way, as I always tend to make only roulades or
casserole, and would appreciate some inspiration?
So it's almost the
weekend, my friends. Do you have any good plans or are you mainly
just going to take it easy? Have fun whatever you do!

Sounds lovely - I love cauli and tahini. Re purple cabbage, I tend to just chop and fry it or put it in a coleslaw but I still have my eye on Shaheen's A2K purple cabbage pesto which looks so impressive
ReplyDeleteThose are all very good cabbage ideas. I need to try them soon!
DeleteCauliflower and tahini are a match made in heaven. I like my cauli roasted in olive oil with cumin seeds salt and pepper and whole cloves of garlic still in their paper. Once baked add lemon and coriander leaf and ooze out the garlic (Add some of the latter to a tahini and lemon dressing)
ReplyDeleteOn holiday in Berwick upon Tweed so a pleasant weekend by the sea. Our apartment has a HUGE kitchen and it's obvious that most people who come to stay eat out or have take away. We enjoy the extra time to cook dals and garlicky tomato sauces. Lovely!
Have a nice holiday! That sounds lovely. I'd prefer cooking myself as well, if there's a good kitchen. And yes, I totally agree about cauliflower and tahini.
