Equipment

  • Quart-sized Canning Jar
  • Jar Storage Lid
  • Baking Sheet

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds cauliflower about one large head
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 8 grain-free tortillas
  • 8 ounces hummus
  • 2 cups spring greens
  • 1/3 cup red onion finely diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 1 lemon cut into wedges

For the Pickled Cabbage

  • 4 cups red cabbage finely shredded
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 1/2 cups apple cider vinegar
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt or 2 teaspoons pickling salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • Remove the outer leaves from the cauliflower and cut it into small, bite-sized florets. Mix the olive oil, curry powder, and salt together in a large mixing bowl. Add the cauliflower and toss until it is well-coated.
  • Spread the cauliflower out in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and roast the cauliflower for 30-35 minutes, tossing halfway through, until it is tender and slightly crispy.
  • Spread two tablespoons of hummus on each tortilla. Divide the greens, roasted cauliflower, diced onion, and cilantro between the tortillas. Top each tortilla with a forkful of pickled cabbage, a pinch of sesame seeds, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving.

For the Pickled Cabbage

  • Place the shredded cabbage and garlic in a quart-sized glass canning jar.
  • Combine the apple cider vinegar, water, and salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and stir until the salt is completely dissolved.
  • Carefully pour the hot brine in the jar, leaving about 1/2 inch of space at the top.
  • Cover the jar and refrigerate for at least two hours. Store the cabbage in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 weeks.
