Desert Island Dishes also created a version of Whole Roasted Cauliflower that’s drizzled with tahini and topped with a chimichurri-style sauce. YUM!

@desertislanddishes Whole roasted cauliflower served on garlicky yoghurt, drizzled with tahini and a chimichurri style sauce. It’s SO GOOD. The cauliflower is like butter, you could cut it with a spoon. #cauliflower #tahini #easyentertaining ♬ Jazz masterpiece “As time goes by” covered by a Jazz violinist by profession(962408) – ricca

  • Great healthy idea I just don’t think I can do it – too many flashbacks to childhood where cauliflower with white sauce was a main meal.
