Oh cauliflower, we love you anytime. But this simple, spicy pot is a revelation – a handful of olives, a little preserved lemon, warming ginger and turmeric. And with only a couple more steps than it would take to roast a cauliflower whole. Recommend!
Moroccan cauliflower with preserved lemon and olives
Chop or break up the cauliflower (including stems) into small florets, and give them a quick wash. Mix the cauliflower with the spices and grated ginger.
In a heavy based pot, sauté the onions and garlic briefly in the olive oil over medium heat. Then just add all the ingredients into the pot – the cauliflower, preserved lemon, olives and water.
Bring to a simmer, cover and cook for about 10 minutes, until the cauliflower is just tender. The preserved lemon and olives will have added some salt, so taste and season if needed. Add fresh coriander or parsley to serve.
