Recipe: Vegan Curried Cauliflower With Muhammara

From vegnews.com

The punch of bold flavours in this dish from toasted nuts and roasted red pepper and molasses spread, lend plenty of Mediterranean flavour

SERVES: 4

In this recipe from the Eat Plants Every Day cookbook, roasting cauliflower imparts a light, golden brown crispness that helps it stand up to the saucy, mild peppery Syrian muhammara. You can find this savoury dip made with roasted red peppers, walnuts, and olive oil at most major grocery stores—it pairs beautifully with crusty bread and roasted vegetables.

What you need:

1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
¼ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons Madras curry powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
¼ cup muhammara
¼ cup pomegranate seeds
½ cup walnut halves, toasted and broken in half
