FIRE-ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH WHIPPED CHICKPEAS AND CILANTRO PISTOU

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. Put a 14-inch cast-iron pan in the oven while it preheats.
• For the cilantro pistou: Combine the cilantro, parsley, lemon juice, 1 to 2 cloves garlic (depending on how spicy you like it), 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper in a blender. Turn on medium speed and drizzle in the olive oil to combine. Blend until it has a smooth consistency. Adjust with olive oil for desired thickness, or flavor with more salt and lemon as needed. Add the chile flakes, if using.
• Add the cauliflower and blended oil to a large bowl. Generously season with salt and toss to combine. Carefully pour into the preheated cast-iron pan and put back in the oven. Roast on the middle rack until brown and tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Crank the heat to broil for last 2 minutes for added color, if desired. (It should have color and be tender but retain a bit of crunch.)
• For the whipped chickpeas: Meanwhile, strain the chickpeas, reserving the liquid in a separate bowl. In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, olive oil, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 cup reserved chickpea liquid (aquafaba) and blend on high for about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed. Add a bit more aquafaba (approximately 2 tablespoons) if the machine is struggling, then add 1 tablespoon at a time of water (up to 1/4 cup) until smooth and light. Season with salt and pepper.
• For the dukkah spice: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Add the hazelnuts, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, sunflower seeds and fennel seeds to a small food processor and pulse until just combined. (Do not overprocess.) Add to a cast-iron skillet and toast in the oven for 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and season with the olive oil, salt and pepper.
• Generously spread the pillowy chickpea mixture on a platter. Top with the roasted cauliflower, then drizzle over the cilantro pistou and sprinkle generously with the dukkah.

CAULIFLOWER PUREE W/ROASTED CAULIFLOWER AND CHICKPEAS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. 2. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to boil, boil the cauliflower until tender, about 10-20 minutes. 3. While cauliflower is boiling, start roasting the rest of the cauliflower and the chickpeas. Prep 2 baking sheets with foil. Separately toss the chickpeas and cauliflower with olive oil, garlic, rosemary salt & pepper. (I do this right on the baking sheet). Roast both in the oven until golden brown, about 25-35 minutes (check halfway through). 4. Back to the boiling cauliflower... Drain it well, and transfer to a high speed blender. Add the rest of the purée ingredients and blend well. Taste and adjust, adding more salt, pepper, and/or lemon as necessary. If yours is too thick, add some water or milk. If it's too thin, add some more chickpeas. The consistency should be thinner and lighter than hummus. (*note that I used a vitamix, if you're using a regular blender yours might not be as smooth). 5. Plate with a generous scoop of the purée and top it with the roasted cauliflower, chickpeas, a drizzle of olive oil, capers, a few small pinches of red pepper flakes, and another pinch of rosemary. And an extra squeeze of lemon if necessary.

Rub the cauliflower pieces on both sides, and place in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, to one side.
• In a small bowl, toss together the chickpeas, the rest of the spices, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper until evenly combined. Pour out on the baking sheet off to one side.
