A taste bud-tickling vegan dish that’s a riot of flavours. Enjoy as a side, a veggie-filled lunch or a light dinner.
Serves : 4
For the Cauliflower :
1 head of cauliflower, chopped into florets
1 tblsp olive oil
3 tblsp hot sauce
Salt, to season
For the Salad:
1 bunch cavolo nero, stems removed and shredded
1-2 tblsp ‘Tahini ranch dressing’ plus extra to serve
1 large carrot, ribboned
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced into half-moons
Method :
Return to the oven for 5-10 minutes until the cauliflower is lightly browned at the edges.
To make the chickpeas, heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the chickpeas, garlic powder and salt to season.
Cook for 3 minutes, tossing regularly. Stir in 1 tablespoon of the hot sauce and cook, stirring for 2-3 minutes, until the chickpeas start to brown. Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining tablespoon of hot sauce.
Combine the cavolo nero with the ‘Tahini ranch dressing’ in a bowl. Massage the dressing into the cavolo nero until it begins to soften. Toss in the carrot and red onion and mix until everything is coated in the dressing. Divide the salad into bowls and top with the cauliflower, chickpeas and extra dressing.
This looks delicious!
