Tahini Basil Cauliflower
A wholesome recipe that’s as stunning as it is delicious. It’s like a little art piece on your table! Serve it whole with a sharp knife and let your guests dig in. There is something so satisfying about slicing into it together, like a mini celebration. Not that we always need a cake for that right?
The nutty depth of tahini, the freshness of basil, and the Green & Bold character of Coratina come together to create a rich, complex sauce on the cauliflower, if not a little make-up too!

Recipe
Ingredients for the cauliflower roast
- 
1 medium cauliflower head 
- 
30 gr of butter 
Ingredients for the basil tahini dressing
- 
4 tbsp of Grovehood Collective Coratina extra virgin olive oil 
- 
1 tsp of salt 
- 
⅓ bunch of basil leaves 
- 
⅓ cup of tahini 
- 
¼ cup of Coratina extra virgin olive oil 
- 
1 lemon juice 
- 
Pepper to taste 
- 
Chili flakes (optional to taste) 
Method
- 
Start by cutting off the green leaves from the cauliflower 
- 
In a pot, add water and bring it to a boil 
- 
Soak the cauliflower head upside down in the water for 6’ twice, allowing it to cool for 10’ in between. 
- 
In the meantime, melt the butter, and mix it with the olive oil 
- 
Now preheat the oven to 190 
- 
Once the cauliflower has cooled after the second round in the water, place it with the head upwards, and brush it with the butter and oil mixture. 
- 
Add some salt on top and cover it with aluminum foil 
- 
Now roast it in the oven for 40’ covered, with 5’ extra uncovered after. 
- 
While the cauliflower is roasting, mix all ingredients for the dressing in a blender until you get the desired consistency. Add water in small batches to loosen the sauce and get to your desired consistency. 
- 
Once the cauliflower is roasted, allow it to cool down for 10’, and drizzle the sauce on top. 
- 
Finish off with an extra bit of ground pepper, chili flakes and extra virgin olive oil.
