Marmalade & Soy Glazed Cauliflower Steaks with Herby Quinoa & Tahini Drizzle

Some recipes come together by accident – this one started with half a jar of marmalade sitting in my fridge and a craving for something sweet, salty, and comforting. A few spoonfuls whisked with soy, garlic and chilli turned into this gorgeous sticky glaze – and before I knew it, a simple cauliflower became something special. The sweet citrus from La Vieja Fábrica Marmalade caramelises beautifully in the oven, giving the cauliflower golden edges and that perfect balance of umami and brightness. I love serving it over herby quinoa with creamy tahini drizzle and a squeeze of lemon – simple, seasonal, and completely moreish. A cosy winter dinner that somehow still tastes fresh and light.
