Roasted cauliflower with turmeric tahini sauce & pomegranate seeds

Roasted cauliflower with turmeric tahini sauce is an aromatic, plant-based dish with crispy roasted flavors, creamy sesame sauce & fruity pomegranate topping. The slightly earthy cauliflower combines perfectly with the subtle spice of turmeric and the nuttiness of the tahini, while the pomegranate seeds provide freshness and a sweet-tart contrast.
The ideal wine accompaniment? Riesling, Grüner Veltliner or Viognier provide the perfect balance of acidity, fruitiness and structure to balance out the roasted aromas, spice and creamy sauce.
