Baked turmeric cauliflower
This is yum served as a side dish or tossed through a salad. Cauliflower isn't the prettiest or tastiest vegetable on its own, but it's a great vehicle for spices and other flavours.Cauliflower contains compounds which offer benefits for estrogen metabolism - so it's helpful for endometriosis. Turmeric is also included in this recipe which offers anti-inflammatory benefits. Tick!Cauliflower isn't low FODMAP but personally I don't have any issues digesting it, so I'm happy to be including it my my repertoire of recipes!
You'll need:
1 small head of cauliflower cut in half
2 tbsp olive oil
1 clove of garlic, pressed slightly with a knife (so it's slightly squashed but still one piece)
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 tsp turmeric
1 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp sumac
Method:
Preheat oven to a moderate heat, around 170 degrees celsius in a fan-forced oven.
In a medium frying pan heat oil over a low to medium heat then add the clove of garlic, turmeric, cumin, salt and pepper.
Once fragrant (after about a minute), turn the heat off and allow to cool a little.
Rub the oil mixture and the garlic from the frying pan all over the cauliflower, discard the garlic and place cauliflower on a baking tray, sprinkle with sumac and a little more salt and place in the oven for 25-30 minutes.
Serve warm and enjoy.
