Recipe


Ingredients

  • ¾ cup uncooked brown rice
  • 2 cups vegetable stock
  • ½ tsp turmeric
  • ½ tsp chilli flakes
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp ground coriander
  • Pinch sea salt & pepper
  • ½ tsp garam masala
  • 400g cauliflower, cut into small florets
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ⅓ cup cashews, toasted

  • Juice & zest 1 lemon

Method


  • Preheat oven to 200ºC and cover baking tray with baking paper.
  • In medium saucepan, cook rice in vegetable stock with turmeric for around 45 mins or until rice is soft and cooked through. (Soaking rice overnight improves its digestibility and speeds up cooking time.)
  • In small bowl, combine chilli, cumin, coriander, salt, pepper and garam masala.
  • In medium bowl, toss cauliflower with spice mix and lay cauliflower out on baking tray.
  • Drizzle with olive oil and put in the oven for 30 mins.
  • When rice and cauliflower are cooked, place them in large bowl.
  • Lightly toast cashews in small frying pan and add to rice mixture.
  • Add sultanas, mint and lemon zest and juice and toss gently until well combined. Serve hot or cold.
