The Recipe

Truffle Cauliflower with Black Tahini

For the Cauliflower

◆

1 large cauliflower

◆

2 tbsp truffle oil

◆

½ tsp fine sea salt

For the Black Tahini Sauce

◆

6 tbsp water, plus more as needed

◆

2 tbsp truffle oil

◆

Fine sea salt, to taste

For the Lemony Parsley Salad

◆

Fresh parsley, roughly chopped

◆

1 lemon, very thinly sliced

◆

Extra virgin olive oil, to dress

◆

Fine sea salt, to taste

Method

1

Preheat. Heat the oven to 250°C and line a roasting tray with baking parchment. Remove the cauliflower leaves, trim the base without cutting away the core, then slice through the centre into thick steaks.

2

Blanch. Lower the cauliflower steaks into boiling water and cook for 2 minutes. Drain carefully, then pat them thoroughly dry so they roast rather than steam.

3

Roast. Arrange the steaks on the prepared tray, drizzle both sides with 2 tbsp truffle oil and season with ½ tsp salt. Roast for 15–20 minutes, turning once, until deeply golden and tender through the centre.

4

Whisk the sauce. Combine the Black Tahini and water until smooth, then stir in 2 tbsp truffle oil and season with salt. Add a little more water if needed to make a thick but spoonable sauce.

5

Toss the salad. Mix the parsley and thinly sliced lemon with a light drizzle of olive oil, the Sumac and a pinch of salt. Toss gently so the lemon slices stay intact.

6

Plate. Spread the Black Tahini sauce across two plates, place a roasted cauliflower steak on each and finish with the lemony parsley salad. Serve immediately.

🌿 Med Cuisine Tip: Slice through the cauliflower core so each steak holds together; the loose outer florets can roast alongside it. Dry the blanched steaks thoroughly before adding the oil, as surface moisture prevents the edges from caramelising.
