Cauliflower is one of my favorite ingredients. My kids love it. It pairs so well with so many different things: chicken, fish, etc. I've started to use tahini a lot more in my cooking; it's a great way to bring complex flavor to a dish.

Ingredients

2 heads cauliflower, cut into florets

Two 15-ounce cans chickpeas, drained 

6 shallots, cut into quarters 

2 tablespoons zaatar 

6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt 

2 tablespoons tahini 

Juice of 2 lemons 

Directions

Special equipment:
a 2-quart oval cast-iron casserole pan
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the cauliflower, chickpeas, shallots, olive oil, zaatar and salt and pepper. Pour into a 2-quart oval cast-iron casserole pan and place in the oven to roast until the florets are tender, about 35 minutes.
  3. To make the dressing, mix the yogurt, tahini, lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste in a medium bowl. Mix well to dissolve the tahini.
  4. Place the casserole on a trivet or heatproof surface. Drizzle the dressing on top and serve while still warm.
