Directions:To roast the cauliflower:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Toss cauliflower florets with enough olive oil to cover them in a light, even layer of oil.
3. Season with salt and pepper and arrange the florets in a single layer on a large, rimmed baking sheet.
4. Roast for 30 to 35 minutes, tossing halfway, until the florets are deeply golden on the edges.
To cook the Millet:
1. Warm 1 tablespoon olive oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
2. Add the almonds and cook, stirring occasionally, until they’re fragrant and turning golden on the edges, about 3 minutes.
3. Add the millet and sauté for 2 minutes
4. Then add the garlic, cumin, coriander and salt. Sauté for 1 more minute.
5. Add vegetable broth, raise the heat and bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover and cook. Stirring occasionally and reducing heat as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer, until millet is tender to the bite, 25 to 30 minutes. Drain off any excess liquid, cover and set aside for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and season with salt and pepper to taste.
To make the dressing:
1. In a bowl, stir together the tahini, lemon juice, garlic and red pepper flakes.
2. Whisk in the water until you have a smooth, blended tahini sauce.
3. Season generously with salt (I added about ¼ teaspoon) and black pepper, to taste.
To assemble the individual dishes:
1. Start with a bed of cooked millet and top with roasted cauliflower.
2. Drizzle tahini sauce generously over the dish and then top with a sprinkling of chopped fresh herbs, crumbled feta (optional), and sesame seeds.
3. Serve immediately. |
