Spice Roasted Cauliflower Rice

This spiced vegan main is easy to prepare and looks the part on the plate. Roasting the cauliflower brings out the earthy flavours of the vegetable.

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Put half of the oil, the harissa paste (or tomato pesto) in a small bowl with a pinch of salt and mix. Tip the cauliflower florets onto a baking tray and drizzle over the harissa mixture. Using your hands, toss to coat well and roast in the oven for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway, until deep golden brown and tender.

Step 2

To make the rice, heat the remaining oil in a pan over a medium heat and add the cumin seeds. Once they start to pop, stir in the onion and chopped chilli and cook for 6-8 mins until lightly golden. Add the garlic, chilli powder and turmeric, cooking for 2 mins before adding the chopped coriander, cooked rice, roasted cauliflower and season with salt.

Step 3

Mix it all well and cook on a high heat for a minute. Serve with a sprinkle of coriander leaves and a wedge of lime to squeeze over and some coconut yoghurt, if you like.
