Directions:
TO MAKE THE BAHARAT SPICE BLEND:
Toast peppercorns, coriander, cumin, and cloves on a hot dry pan, until fragrant. Remove the pan from heat, then grind the spices in a mortar. Add rest of the spices and mix together.

TO MAKE THE TAHINI COATING:
Mix all ingredients together. Add more water if the mixture seems too thick, it should be spreadable.

TO MAKE THE LEMONY HERB OIL:
Blend all ingredients into a smooth, pesto-like paste.

TO MAKE THE CAULIFLOWER:
Preheat oven to 390°F. Brush cast-iron skillet, or other oven-proof dish with olive oil.
Remove the green outer leaves from cauliflower. Level the stem so that cauliflower stands up.
Bring a large pot of water to boil and cook cauliflower for 7 minutes. Drain and pat it dry.
Spread tahini mixture all over the cauliflower with your hands. Roast cauliflower in the oven for 45 minutes or until it can be pierced with a fork. Increase oven temperature to 435°F and bake cauliflower for additional 5-10 minutes, until small brown spots start to appear.
Drizzle cauliflower with some herb oil and garnish with toasted almonds just before serving.
