  2. Steam cauliflower florets for around 5-8 minutes until softened but not mushy.
  3. Soak cashews in boiling water for around 15-30 minutes until soft. Drain water and set aside.
  4. In a blender, combine tahini, soaked cashews, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Blitz until you get a smooth, creamy consistency. Add water if the mix is too thick. Should be around the consistency of pouring cream.

  8. Once everything is roasted to perfection, remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley and one or two tablespoons of Sauerkraut or any other fermented vegetables.
