Middle Eastern Spiced BBQ Cauliflower Skewers
Prep Time30 Minutes
Servings4
Cook Time20 Minutes
Ingredients
1 head of cauliflower
1 tbsp ground turmeric
250g oyster mushrooms or mushrooms of choice
250g natural soy yogurt
4 tbsp light tahini
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2 tbsp za'atar
2 tbsp tamari or soy sauce
1 tbsp maple syrup
3 tbsp oil
1/2 tbsp smoked paprika
1 pomegranate, deseeded
15g fresh coriander/flat parsley, finely diced
Directions
  1. Soak the wooden skewers in cold water to avoid burning on the barbeque or use metal skewers.
  2. Cut the cauliflower into florets and wash. Remove the tender smaller leaves and cut them in half lengthwise.
  3. Add the cauliflower florets and leaves to a large saucepan and fill it with just boiled water, a generous pinch of salt, and the ground turmeric.
  4. Cook on high heat for approximately 7-8 minutes until the cauliflower is almost cooked but still hard enough to hold its shape.
  5. Mix the za'atar glaze ingredients together until well combined.
  6. Pour half of this mixture into a mug along with 2 tbsp of tamari or soy sauce and mix well. This sauce will be for the mushrooms. Keep the remaining ½ of the za’atar glaze for drizzling over the finished skewers.
  7. While the cauliflower is cooking, fry off the mushrooms. Try to keep them in larger pieces so that they can fit on the skewers easily.
  8. Fry the mushrooms in ½ tbsp of oil on high heat for 4-5 minutes until they cook through. Add in the za’atar and tamari mixture for the mushrooms and spread around to coat. Cook for a further minute and remove from the pan. Leave to cool.
  9. Mix the ingredients for the tahini cream together.
  10. Remove the skewers from the water and build your skewers. Be careful to keep the cauliflower from falling apart.
  11. Grill the filled skewers on medium heat until they char slightly on each side. Spray with a little oil to encourage more caramelisation.
  12. To plate up, lay 2-3 skewers per plate, drizzle over the za’atar glaze, and decorate with chopped coriander and pomegranate seeds. Serve with tahini cream.
