  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp ground coriander
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • 1½ tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 3 cups shredded red cabbage (185g)
  • ½ cup water
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar or red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or sugar
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • ½ cup dried bulgur wheat or quinoa, or 1 cup couscous
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • ½ tsp ground coriander
  • 1 clove garlic, grated
  • 2 bunches curly parsley, finely chopped (about 1 to 1.5 cups)
  • ½ cup fresh mint leaves, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup cucumber, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • ¼ cup tahini (50g)
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, grated
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, toss cauliflower florets with curry powder, cumin, garlic powder, coriander, paprika, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes until golden and tender.
  2. Combine water, vinegar, maple syrup, and salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer, then pour over shredded cabbage in a bowl. Let sit for at least 15–20 minutes.
  3. Cook bulgur wheat, quinoa, or couscous according to package instructions. Once cooled, combine with olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, coriander, garlic, parsley, mint, cucumber, and tomatoes. Mix well.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, grated garlic, cumin, and salt. Thin with a little water if needed until pourable.
  5. Add a scoop of roasted cauliflower, a portion of tabbouleh, pickled cabbage, a dollop of hummus, and a drizzle of tahini sauce to each bowl. Serve with pita wedges on the side.

Notes

  • Feel free to adjust the spices according to your taste.
  • Can substitute bulgur with quinoa or couscous based on preference.
  • Great for meal prep – store components separately until serving.
