Pomegranate Cauliflower Quinoa Bowl: A Vibrant Recipe for Cul

May 16, 2025 Written by Sophia

Hey foodies! Today, I’m excited to share with you a unique and flavorful recipe that I recently concocted in my kitchen. This dish was inspired by the changing seasons and my love for experimenting with different ingredients. I hope you enjoy this culinary adventure as much as I did!

For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

  • purple cauliflower (250g)
  • pomegranate molasses (30ml)
  • garam masala (10g)
  • tofu (300g)
  • black quinoa (200g)
  • orange zest (from 1 orange)
  • baby kale (100g)

To bring this dish to life, you will need the following kitchen tools:

  • chef’s knife
  • cutting board
  • baking sheet
  • mixing bowl
  • skillet
  • microplane zester

Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Next, cut the purple cauliflower into small florets and toss them in a mixing bowl with the pomegranate molasses and garam masala. Spread the cauliflower evenly on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until caramelized and tender.

While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the tofu by pressing out any excess liquid and cutting it into cubes. Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly pan-fry the tofu until golden brown and crispy on all sides.

In a separate saucepan, cook the black quinoa according to the package instructions. Once cooked, fluff it with a fork and stir in the orange zest for a refreshing citrus kick.

To assemble the dish, divide the black quinoa among serving plates and top with the roasted purple cauliflower, crispy tofu, and baby kale. Drizzle any remaining pomegranate molasses from the bowl over the dish for extra flavor.

This colorful and nutritious dish weighs approximately 1020g once cooked, making about 4 servings. Each serving clocks in at around 255g, with an estimated calorie count of 350 per portion.

A tip for enhancing the flavors of this dish is to marinate the tofu in a mixture of soy sauce, sesame oil, and ginger before pan-frying. This will add a depth of umami flavor to the tofu that pairs perfectly with the roasted cauliflower and citrusy quinoa.

I hope you give this recipe a try and have fun experimenting with different ingredients to make it your own. Happy cooking!
