Harissa Tahini Cauliflower
You know I love cauliflower and this dish may be a new favorite! If you’ve ever been to True Food Kitchen, this is a remake of one of my favorite dishes from there! I knew I needed to recreate it after visiting and trying it out. The best part about trying new things at restaurants is being inspired to make it at home. I think you’ll love this Harissa Tahini Cauliflower!
Harissa Tahini Cauliflower
If you’ve been to True Food Kitchen and gotten their Charred Cauliflower then this dish may be a little familiar to you 😉 after having it a few weeks ago, I new I needed to recreate something similar. I loved the sweet and spiciness to it with the harissa and the chopped dates. The best thing to do is get a bite of each thing in it each time…SO GOOD. You get a little crunch, a little something spicy, and a little sweet with a date.
I love finding ways to remake the dishes that I love to get out . Not only does it ensure you know what’s all going in it, but you it saves some money along the way. Making this harissa tahini cauliflower at home means you can have it more then you would at home!
This would be perfect if you need an appetizer to take to a party, serve with dinner or just have by itself! I hope you love it as much as I do.
