- 1 head of cauliflower, chopped into small florets
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
- 1/2 cup tahini
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp cumin
- 1/4 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp dried thyme
- 1/4 tsp dried rosemary
- 4 Ghapama breads

To start, preheat your oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, mix together the cooked barley, olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Set aside.
In another bowl, toss the chopped cauliflower with olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Spread the cauliflower out on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned.
While the cauliflower is roasting, make the tahini sauce by whisking together the tahini, lemon juice, water, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, dried oregano, dried thyme, and dried rosemary.
To assemble the Ghapama, cut off the top of each bread and scoop out the inside, leaving a hollow shell. Fill each bread with the barley mixture and top with the roasted cauliflower. Drizzle the tahini sauce over the top and replace the bread top.
This dish is perfect for a hearty lunch or dinner and is sure to impress your guests. The combination of tender barley, roasted cauliflower, and creamy tahini sauce is simply irresistible. The Ghapama bread adds a unique and delicious twist to this classic dish.
