Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 2-lb. head cauliflower
  • 1 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 large garlic clove, crushed
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley or fresh za’atar or oregano
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan or other sharp cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Here’s a recipe that does all of that. And the great thing is, it’s easy. Wait – another great thing: When you serve an entire head of cauliflower, all you need is good bread, butter, and salad to make a fine vegetarian meal.

Directions

Have ready a large pan with an inch of boiling water. Steam the cauliflower in it, covered, for 10 minutes.

Line a baking sheet with baking paper, or grease it well with butter. Preheat the oven to 400° F (205° C).

In a large bowl, blend yogurt with all remaining ingredients except cheese.

Remove cauliflower carefully from pan. Turn it, head-down, into the bowl. Move it around gently to cover as much of the surface as possible with the yogurt blend. Spoon more yogurt into the spaces between the florets. Turn right-side-up and massage more yogurt all over it.

Press the grated cheese all over the surface, as much as possible. Place it on the baking sheet.
