ROAST CAULIFLOWER WITH YOGHURT AND PINE NUTS from Matt McConnell of BAR LOURINHÃ

The flavour of roasted cauliflower is a favourite of ours at Bar Lourinhã, and thisdish has been a constant on the menu for many years. Wood-fired ovens can add asmoky dimension to roasted cauliflower, but with the addition of plenty of spices,a standard home oven will create a great result. Select the smallest, whitest and freshest cauliflowers you can find.

INGREDIENTS

125g (½ cup) plain yoghurt
1 tbsp buttermilk
Sea salt
115g (¾ cup) pine nuts
2 ½ tbsp nigella seeds
Dash of extra-virgin olive oil plus extra for drizzling
2 small heads cauliflower (about 15cm in diameter)
125ml (½ cup) olive oil
2 tbsp fennel seeds ground using a mortar and pestle
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 tsp red Aleppo pepper
1 tsp urfa biber (sometimes sold as Turkish chilli flakes)
Handful of purslane leaves

INSTRUCTIONS

Combine the yoghurt, buttermilk and a pinch of salt in a bowl and set aside atroom temperature for 1 hour, until the yoghurt becomes silky.

Preheat the oven to 250°C and line a large baking tray with baking paper.

Dry-toast the pine nuts and 2 tsp of the nigella seeds in a small frying pan overmedium heat until nice and golden (pine nuts burn more quickly than other nutsso don’t walk away from the pan!). Transfer to a bowl and, while still hot, adda dash of extra-virgin olive oil and a large pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside.

Trim the outer leaves off the cauliflowers and turn them upside down. Slice eachcauliflower into quarters by cutting through the round core at the bottom. Placethe cauliflower on the prepared tray, then pour over the olive oil and season evenlywith the ground fennel seed, remaining nigella seeds, 2 tsp of salt and the blackpepper. Transfer to the oven and roast for 25–30 minutes, until the caulifloweris golden and the core has softened.

You can either serve the cauliflower piping hot from the oven or at roomtemperature.

Spoon the yoghurt sauce onto a serving plate and place the cauliflower on top.Sprinkle over the pine nut mixture, Aleppo pepper, urfa biber and purslane leaves.Finish with a generous dousing of top-quality extra-virgin olive oil.
