Method

  1. Set the oven to 220°C (200°C fan). Cut the cauliflower into large florets.
  2. Mix the olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, turmeric, cinnamon and 1 tsp of salt in a large bowl. Add the cauliflower and toss until coated, then spread on a tray and roast for 30 to 35 minutes, turning once, until deeply browned at the edges.
  3. Crush the garlic and squeeze the lemon. Whisk the tahini with the garlic, 3 tbsp of the lemon juice, 4 tbsp of cold water and a pinch of salt until smooth and pourable.
  4. Chop the cucumber, tomatoes and parsley into small pieces and mix them with the rest of the lemon juice and a pinch of salt.
  5. Warm the pittas in a dry frying pan or the oven for the last 3 minutes.
  6. Pile the cauliflower on a board and serve with the tahini sauce, salad and warm pittas to fill.

Tip Make the tahini sauce the day before; it thickens in the fridge, so loosen it with a splash of water.
