You’ll need very few ingredients and, more importantly, very little time. Try it for lunch, serve it for brunch, or make your life extra easy on a weeknight.

Cauliflower Shawarma

Cauliflower Shawarma | livitygardens.com
Cauliflower Shawarma | livitygardens.com

Traditionally, shawarma is seasoned, thin-sliced meat stacked and cooked in a rotisserie. In this Cauliflower Shawarma, we skip the rotisserie experience, and concentrate on the flavors. And trust me, they are on point. This is actually a variation of my Oyster Mushroom Shawarma, because yes, a cauliflower is sometimes easier to find than oyster mushrooms. Plus, with the addition of walnuts, this recipe gives you a punch of antioxidants and Omega-3s, on top of that crunchy texture that’s so fabulous in this recipe. Try it, you will love it!

  • Prep Time: 15
  • Cook Time: 20
  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon allspice
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon coriander
  • 1 1/2 ย to 2 teaspoons sea salt
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups walnuts, chopped finely

Instructions

In a small bowl, mix the allspice, black pepper, cinnamon, cumin, coriander, and sea salt.

In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the cauliflower and the onion, and sautรฉ, stirring often, until the cauliflower is soft and golden, about 15 minutes. You want those brown bits and pieces. Add the spice mixture, the garlic and walnuts, and cook, stirring, for another 2 minutes. Serve on a pita, with garlic sauce, pickled cabbage and red onions, and fresh tomatoes. Decadent.

Chou-fleur shawarma

Ici, on s’รฉpargne l’expรฉrience de la rรดtisserie, mais on ne lรฉsine pas sur les saveurs! Cette recette prend son inspiration dans ma recette de Pleurotes shawarma, et avec raison. Il est souvent plus facile de trouver un chou-fleur que des pleurotes.ย De plus, avec l’ajout des noix, on augmente notre apport en antioxidants et en omรฉga-3. Essayez cette recette, vous ne le regretterez pas!

Eggplant and Tomato Confit

Eggplant and Tomato Confit
Eggplant and Tomato Confit

I first tried this Eggplant and Tomato Confit recipe last year and I can’t stop making it. It’s the type of things that’s often available in my fridge, for busy weeknights, or even for company. I served this at the last Livity Gardens Cooking Lab, and the guests made sure I would share the recipe. It is from a French Canadian recipe site, K pour Katrine. Katrine is very good at offering ideas for plant-based and gluten-free meals. The recipes are in French, however, so I took the liberty of adapting it to my kitchen and translating it for you, beautiful people.
