Ingredients

Techniques
  • 1 head cauliflower
Remove the outer leaves of the cauliflower; if the head has no stable base, cut off a piece so it sits flat.
  • water
Set it in a pot with a little water that touches only the base, not the florets. Cover and simmer 10 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 450.
  • 2 tbsp za'atar
  • garlic cloves
  • ½ lemon lemon zest
  • ½ lemon lemon juice
  • olive oil
  • salt
Mix about 2 tablespoons za'atar with grated garlic, the zest and juice of half a lemon, olive oil and salt.
Move the cauliflower to a small roasting pan lined with parchment and brush the mixture over it liberally.
Roast at 450 for about 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the oven, until the top forms a crust; cook longer for more tender.
  • parsley
  • lemon
Cut into steaks so the florets fall apart, fan them out, top with parsley, an extra sprinkling of salt and a squeeze of lemon; serve with lemon wedges.
