#16 Cheeky Cauliflower with a very Cheeky Chilli Bang-Bang Pickle
I’m roasting the humble cauliflower in a delicious spice mix
before topping with a Cheeky Chilli Bang-Bang Pickle. This fiery
roasted and vegan friendly cauliflower dish will serve as the ideal accompaniment to a main meal or will
stand alone as a go to Indian style snack.
Easily serves 2 people
30 minutes to prepare
and cook
Ingredients
4 tablespoons of olive oil
Half (400g) a washed cauliflower with green leaves removed.
1 heaped teaspoon of ground coriander
1 heaped teaspoon of ground cumin
1 level teaspoon of turmeric
Small handful of chopped coriander
1 heaped tablespoon of natural yogurt (leave aside to make this vegan friendly)
1 heaped teaspoon of Cheeky Chilli Bang-Bang Pickle from those
at the Cheeky Food Co. (see link below)
Salt and pepper for seasoning
Method
1. Start by preheating the oven to 200 degrees.
2. Mix together the oil and spices in a mug and set
aside.
3. Take the washed cauliflower and slice, chop and
cut this however you like into manageable but chunky bitesize pieces. Make sure
any smaller pieces are kept as these will crisp up nicely in the oven. Put the
chopped cauliflower into a roasting tin and spread the cauliflower out evenly.
4. Take the prepared spice mix and drizzle over the
cauliflower. Using your hands, mix the cauliflower gently so as to evenly coat
with the spice mix. Season the cauliflower and spice mix with salt and pepper.
5. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes. Keep an eye
on things but the cauliflower should turn a delicious looking brown colour with
crisp edges. Once cooked remove from the oven.
6. Serve with yogurt and a sprinkle of coriander
before finally adding the Cheeky Chilli Bang-Bang Pickle.
(Cheeky tip! Mix up the spices – use a pestle and mortar to
grind down the coriander and cumin seeds instead or using pre ground. Or even
try dry frying the spices beforehand for that extra Asian kick!)
