Spiced Broccoli And Cauliflower Salad Recipes

SPICED BROCCOLI AND CAULIFLOWER SALAD

Steps:

• Steam the broccoli, cauliflower and carrots for 2 minutes, then rinse well under cold water to stop the cooking. Drain well.
• Combine salt and next 5 ingredients in a small skillet; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly for 2 minutes. Do not let the spices burn!
• Combine the spice mixture, sour cream, cider vinegar and honey in a bowl and stir well.
• Add broccoli mixture and toss well to coat all the veggies.
• Stir in green onions just before serving.

SPICED WHOLE CAULIFLOWER & WARM CHICKPEA SALAD

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix together all the marinade ingredients plus 1/2 tsp sea salt and 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper. Drizzle the oil over the base of a medium roasting tin. Use your hands to coat the cauliflower entirely in the marinade, then sit it in the oiled tin. Spoon any leftover marinade on top. Roast for 30 mins until the topping is set.
• Splash 100ml water into the tin, then cover loosely with foil. Return to the oven and let the cauliflower steam for 30 mins.
• Meanwhile, toss the chickpeas, onion, spices and some seasoning together. Uncover the cauliflower, scatter the chickpea mixture around it (the water will have mainly evaporated), then roast for 20 mins more until the onion is tender and the chickpeas are crisping. The cauliflower should be golden and tender by now - when you insert a skewer inserted through the middle, it should meet little resistance.
• Stir the yogurt and coconut cream together to make a loose dressing, then season. Fold the tomatoes, coriander and lemon juice through the chickpeas, then serve with the dressing and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, if you like.
