Spiced Cauliflower with Preserved Lemon

This delicious dish lives and dies by the quality of the curry powder. If you don’t have any on hand that is relatively fresh, treat yourself to sourcing a new blend that hits your desired spice level. I used a delicious Middle Eastern baharat — yum! Ras-el-hanout is also a wonderful spice to use.

Serves: 3–4
