Lemon Yogurt & Sautéed Cauliflower

Simple. So simple. And so damn tasty.
If you are looking for the perfect vegetable side dish- look no more.

Ingredients:

1 cauliflower
½ tsp. salt
2 tbsp. canola oil
1 ½ tbsp. Shawarma Spice

for the yogurt:

1 cup Greek yogurt
1 tbsp. Preserved Lemon Paste*
Zest of 1 lemon
4 tbsp. water

1. Place the yogurt, water, salt, preserved lemon and lemon zest in a bowl. Mix with a whisk until fully combined.

2. Cut the cauliflower into small florets. Make sure to dice the stem as well.

3. Heat a large non-stick frying pan to high heat. Add the cauliflower and make sure not to overcrowd the pan (if you do have more cauliflower sauté in 2 batches.) Add the salt and stir to evenly coat the cauliflower. After 2 minutes of cooking add the oil and stir. Continue cooking for 4- 5 minutes and then add the shawarma spice. Mix well and cook for 2 more minutes or until the cauliflower is tender and has a nice ‘bite’ to it.

4.On a serving plate, place the yogurt, top with the cauliflower, and garnish with chopped parsley.

Note: you can also just pop the cauliflower into the oven instead of sautéing it. Works just as beautiful. Warm the oven to 490f. Mix the cauli with oil, salt and Shawarma spice - spread on a baking sheet and roast until the cauliflower gets a nice brown color.

*Our Preserved Lemon Paste is an all-natural product and is therefore subject to slight variations due to the amount of natural pectin in each batch. We recommend that customers who receive Preserved Lemon Paste with a more gel-like texture either blitz their desired amount in a blender or use a knife to gently run through the product on a cutting board until it reaches their desired texture.
