Grilled Spiced Cauliflower

Ingredients

• For the spice mixture:
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 2 teaspoons ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• For the cauliflower:
• 1 head of cauliflower, trimmed of green leaves and cut into 3/4-inch slices
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems
• Type of fire: two-zone indirect
• Grill heat: medium-high

Directions

1. Stir the spice mixture ingredients together in a small bowl until they are evenly combined.
2. Coat the cauliflower on every side with oil, then season it generously with the spice mixture.
3. Start a full 1 chimney of charcoal. Once the charcoal is lit and coated in gray ash, dump it out and bank the coals on 1 side of the charcoal grate. Put the cooking grate on, cover the grill, and let it heat for 5 minutes. Scrub the grilling grate clean, then oil it.
4. Set the cauliflower over the hot side of the grill. Cook it, turning as needed, until both sides have some good charred patches, about 3 minutes per side.
5. Slide the cauliflower over to the cooler side of the grill, put the cover back on, and keep cooking until it is tender all the way through, 10-15 minutes longer.
6. Move the cauliflower to a plate, scatter the cilantro over the top, and serve.
