Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3-5 cloves of garlic
  • 2 tablespoon oil
  • 2 cups cauliflower
  • 1 ½ cups boiling/hot water
  • a pinch of salt
  • some black pepper
  • small piece of ginger
  • 1-2 cups cilantro leaves
  • 1 lemon juice (squeeze 1 small lemon)
  • 1 tablespoon tahini
  • 1 cup tofu (silken or firm)

Instructions

  • Clean the vegetables and the lemon
  • Get the cauliflower florets and dice the garlic into pieces
  • Put garlic in a saucepan that's heating, add oil, and stir. Cook till the garlic start browning. NOT BURNING!
  • Add cauliflower florets, stir, cover, and cook for 2 minutes. Add salt, black pepper, and hot/boiling water
  • Bring to boil then simmer for 10 mins covered. Preferably cook these in advance to allow them enough time to cool
  • Remember keep the cooking water! You'll need it to blend the sauce
  • Pick out cilantro leaves, keep the stems to make a broth
  • Squeeze the lemon to get the juice and chop ginger into pieces
  • Bring all the ingredients into the blender and blend into a smooth silky cilantro sauce
  • Be careful, start with a little amount of water and add more as you blend. You can make a thick creamy sauce or a runny salad dressing depending on the amount of water you add.
  • Pour the sauce into a mason jar and close tightly.
  • After using the sauce place the remaining in your fridge
