“This kinda Indian-style roast cauliflower dish has some amazing flavours and textures going on ”
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower , outer green leaves removed, broken into florets
- sea salt
- olive oil
- 1 knob butter
- 2 teaspoons cumin seeds
- 2 teaspoons coriander seeds
- 1-2 dried red chillies
- 1 handful blanched almonds , smashed
- 1 lemon , zest and juice of
Method
- Preheat your oven to 200°C/400°F/gas 6. Blanch the cauliflower in salted boiling water for a couple of minutes then drain in a colander, allowing it to steam dry (you don’t want any water left in your cauliflower or it won’t roast properly). Toss it in a good lug of olive oil and the butter. In a pestle and mortar, bash your spices and chillies with a pinch of salt, then mix them with your almonds and put in a hot, dry ovenproof pan to slowly toast them. After a couple of minutes, add the cauliflower. When it gets a nice bit of colour on it, add the lemon zest and juice and mix around well. Fry for about a minute longer then pop the pan into the preheated oven for about 15 minutes to crisp up.
