Roasted Curry Cauliflower

---

It looks awesome when you serve up a whole cauliflower! It's a great social dish because everyone grabs a fork and gets tucked in. Cauliflower has next to no fat and is really low in carbohydrates and sugar. It's full of vitamin C and tastes delicious combined with an array of spices and flavours. The texture of the cauliflower is fantastic too because different parts of the cauliflower are cooked slightly differently when you do it whole  - a must try!

How to

Some prep to start:

• Heat oven to 200°C fan bake
• Finely dice the capsicum and chilli
• Cut the surrounding leafy foliage off the cauliflower and cut the bottom of it carefully so the cauliflower is able to sit quite flat in the pot
• Heat a large-sized oven-proof pot with a lid to a medium heat
• In the pot place all of the spices and stir around for 15 - 20 seconds to release the flavour
• Add the oil
• Add the drained beans and capsicum 
• Sauté for a couple of minutes
• Add the chicken stock and yogurt and mix

Introduce the cauliflower:

• Place the whole cauliflower in the middle of the pan and spoon the mixture over the cauliflower as much as you can
• Put the lid on and place the pot into the oven
• Bake for approximately 50 minutes or until the middle of the cauliflower is soft when you skew it... Baste the cauliflower every 10 minutes or so while cooking. Take the lid off for the last 15 minutes so it gets browned on top

While your cauliflower is baking away, get the rice sorted:

• Cook your brown rice (depending on what rice you have it could take 20 - 30min). To make my life easier I buy the 2 minute brown basmati rice and cook a couple bags for this dish which is around the 4 portion serving size)
  
• ​Roughly chop the almonds and spring onion
  
• Cook the rice as per the instructions on the packet
  
• In a pot, mix the rice (drained if you cooked in water) with all the ingredients for the rice (almonds, goji berries, stevia, oil and spring onion)
  
• You're done! Set aside to serve later

Once the cauliflower is done:

• Take it out of the oven and let it sit for a couple minutes
• Carefully remove from the pot and place on your serving dish 
• Spoon all the sauce that's left in the pot around the cauliflower 
• ​Garnish with chopped fresh coriander, spring onion chopped chilli
• Serve with brown basmati rice or try my Goji almond nut rice .
