Here is how you make Roasted Cauliflower with Quinoa and Tahini Sauce:

To roast the cauliflower: Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Toss cauliflower florets with enough olive oil to cover them in a light, even layer of oil. Season with salt and pepper and arrange the florets in a single layer on a large, rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 30 to 35 minutes, tossing halfway, until the florets are deeply golden on the edges.To cook the quinoa: Wash quinoa in water before using to prevent bitter/soapy taste. Warm 1 tablespoon olive oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Add the almonds and cook, stirring occasionally, until they?re fragrant and turning golden on the edges, about 3 minutes. Add the washed quinoa and saut? for 2 minutes, then add the garlic, cumin, coriander and salt, and saut? for 1 more minute. Add vegetable broth made with boullion and 2 cups of water, raise the heat and bring the mixture a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover and cook, stirring occasionally and reducing heat as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer, until quinoa is done. 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: In a bowl, stir together the tahini, lemon juice, garlic and red pepper flakes. Whisk in the water until you have a smooth, blended tahini sauce. Season generously with salt (I added about 1/4 teaspoon) and black pepper, to taste.To assemble the individual dishes: Start with a bed of cooked quinoa and top with roasted cauliflower. Drizzle tahini sauce generously over the dish and then top with a sprinkling of chopped fresh herbs, crumbled feta (optional), and .Serve immediately. Leftovers are best stored as individual components and assembled after reheating the quinoa and cauliflower.Serving Size:?Serves 6
