Spice Roasted Cauliflower, Puy Lentils and Tahini Basil Dressing

Preheat the oven to 200°C fan bake.

Cut the cauliflower into 6–8 pieces through the stem.

Add to a large saucepan of boiling, salted water and when it comes back to the boil, cook for 5 minutes. Carefully lift out with a slotted spoon and place on a clean tea towel to drain well.

Combine the oil and the spices. Place the cauliflower pieces on a lined baking tray and brush with the spice oil. Season with salt and pepper.

Roast until just tender when pierced with a skewer, about 20 minutes. Set aside.

Dressing: Place all the ingredients in a food processor, season with salt and pepper and process until smooth. Add enough water to make a thick, pourable dressing.

To serve: Spread the lentils on a platter and top with the cauliflower. Drizzle over some of the dressing, serving the rest separately. Garnish with micro greens, if using.

Pantry note: Nutritional yeast is from the same family as edible mushrooms. Rich in vitamin B-12 with a flavour similar to parmesan, it can be used as a seasoning or topping in sauces, egg dishes, meat and vegetables and dressings. Available from health food and gourmet food stores and some supermarkets.
