Crafting the Perfect East-West Tapas

Herb Roasted Potatoes

These crispy potatoes are roasted to golden perfection with rosemary, thyme, and a sprinkle of sumac for an added citrusy zing.

Pro Tip: To achieve the perfect crisp, crank up the oven to 210°C (410°F) for the last few minutes of cooking.

Curry Roasted Cauliflower

Spiced with curry, turmeric, and garlic, this cauliflower is roasted until tender and flavorful. A sprinkle of buckwheat flour creates a lightly crisp coating.

Upgrade It: Add a pinch of chili powder if you like your cauliflower with a little heat.

Quinoa-Tabouli Salad

Fresh parsley, mint, and tomato come together with zesty lemon juice and olive oil for a refreshing, herbaceous salad that complements the rich, roasted components.

Customization Tip: Substitute quinoa with bulgur or couscous for a more traditional tabouli texture.

Sautéed Red Pepper and Juicy Marbles Chunks

Juicy Marbles chunks and red peppers are sautéed to caramelized perfection, adding a smoky, savory bite to the dish.

Cooking Tip: Sear the Juicy Marbles chunks just long enough to create a golden crust while keeping the inside tender.

Sunflower Seed Tahini

This creamy sauce ties the dish together, made from toasted sunflower seeds, olive oil, and a touch of balsamic vinegar.

Make It Your Own: Add a dash of smoked paprika or tahini paste for an even richer flavor.

Assembling the Perfect Tapas Bowl

To bring the dish together, arrange each component in a cozy bowl or on a serving platter. The herb-roasted potatoes, curry cauliflower, quinoa-tabouli, and sautéed Juicy Marbles chunks create a visually stunning and flavor-packed plate. Drizzle the sunflower seed tahini sauce over the top or serve it on the side for dipping.

Plating Tip: Use a shallow bowl to display the vibrant colors and textures of each component.

Pairing Suggestion: Serve with warm flatbread and a glass of sparkling water infused with mint and lemon.
