A gentle starter to stimulate the appetite
Cauliflower, feta and pomegranate tabbouleh
For 4 people, you will need 1 large cauliflower, 2 teaspoons of allspice mix, 1 pomegranate, 1 yellow lemon, 1 red onion, 40g of slivered almonds, 1 bunch of chopped parsley, 100g of feta cheese, 1 bunch of chopped mint, 4 tablespoons of olive oil, salt and pepper.
Preheat the oven to 190°C/th. 6-7.
Remove the cauliflower's large leaves, rinse it and chop it roughly. Blend the chopped cauliflower in a food processor until it resembles semolina. Add the allspice mixture and 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Mix everything together before spreading out on an ovenproof tray covered with baking parchment. Place in the oven for 15 minutes, stirring again halfway through cooking. Leave to cool and place in a salad bowl.
Stem the pomegranate. Squeeze the lemon. Peel and chop the onion. Fry the almonds for 3 minutes without fat. Add the almonds, pomegranate, parsley, diced feta, lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the cauliflower.
Chill overnight. Before serving, mix well and sprinkle with fresh mint.
