-1/4 cup (20g) coconut flakes, lightly toasted
-1/3 bunch coriander
Directions
- Heat the oven to 220°C. Put cauliflower in a roasting tray. Cook spring onion, ginger, and garlic in coconut oil over medium heat for 3 minutes until soft. Add curry powder and coriander seeds, cook for 1 minute until it smells good. Pour in coconut milk, add cashews and ½ cup (125ml) water, and let it simmer for 2 minutes. Season, stir in lemon zest and juice, and pour this mixture over cauliflower. Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Then remove the foil, brush the cauliflower with the coconut mixture, and bake for 25 minutes or until the cauliflower is golden and just tender.
- To make the carrot salad, mix together carrots, sultanas, and vinegar in a bowl, then let it sit for 5 minutes. Just before serving, add coconut and coriander, and serve it alongside cauliflower topped with coriander.
