Ingredients: 1 tsp cumin powder; 1 tsp coriander powder; 1/2 tsp paprika; 1/4 tsp ground black pepper; 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon; 1/4 tsp ground cardamom; 1/8 tsp ground cloves; a generous pinch of nutmeg and allspice; 1 tsp garlic powder; 1 small head of cauliflower (chopped into florets); 1/4 cup water; 1/4 to 1/2 tsp salt; 2 tsp oil; 1/3 to 1/2 tsp cayenne; 1/2 tsp garlic granules or 1 tsp garlic paste; Shawarma spice blend (all of the above or 1 tablespoon or more or other Mediterranean blend of choice); Pita breads (or Gluten-free Yeast-free Flatbreads); chopped tomatoes; chopped cucumber or pickles; lettuce or greens; hummus; 1 recipe tahini dressing; cilantro or parsley

Mediterranean spice blends work wonders on the meat dishes so I decided to use it with veggies with amazing results! Make your own shawarma spice blend, cook the cauliflower(or other chunky vegetables), add the spices mixed in a little oil, roast and use. The cauliflower can also be baked and used. For higher protein, use cooked beans or chickpeas or tofu instead.

The warmly spiced cauliflower is paired with a good slather of hummus, garnished with lemony tahini dressing, cooling tomatoes and cucumber. These wraps disappear very quickly! Use my regular wheat Pita breads or yeast-free flatbreads.

Deep flavors from cumin, coriander, cinnamon and cardamom work beautifully in this wrap. Make a bigger helping of the Shawarma spice blend to add to veggies and beans for a quick meal fix!
