Saturday 28th April Green

Breakfast: Coffee 1 HEXA & 3 syns for coffee syrups
Lunch: Salad 2.5 syns for dressing
Tea: Cardamon-roasted cauliflower with pistachio & green pepper salsa and leek, tomato & coconut pilaf <1 HEXA for milk, <2 HEXB for oil & pistachios
Snacks: Quorn slices, about 40 syns for wine

Another Denis Cotter, OMG the cauli was AMAZING! The pilaf was nice too but the cauli you could do with all sorts, it'd go with curries or BBQ's or salads, loads of stuff, nomtastic!

Pics are a bit glow in the dark, I cant fathom this camera replacement, it goes from ditchwater to lkuminour without me touching anything
But nom! Cardamon-roasted cauliflower! :drool:

Congratulations on the new shiny, that really is fantastic :happy096:

I just got Denis cotter's book from the library and am desperate to make the roasted cauli. Just wanted to check how you did it, please tell me you left out the butter and it was still fantastic?! Also I presume you used Kara to replace coconut milk? Thanks.

I skipped the butter but I put 1 tbsp of extra virgin oil in between 2 of us, so half a HEXB each, but tbh you could skip that I think. Just mix the spices etc in a little water so theres enough to brush it evenly over the cauli and keep them wet so they don't burn. Then fry Light it when it goes in the oven.

I also used the whole of the marinade but only for 4 slices of cauliflower, (I always double the spices etc in things as I like my things flavourful). It could have done with a wee bit more marinade if anything.

I gave it a bit longer than the time suggested too, I think I was expecting it to go a little bit more crispy, which it didn't, so I just waited til it was starting to go a little brown round the edges like in the piccie.

For the pilaf bit I skipped the oil and yeah used Kara instead of coconut milk.

And for the salsa I roasted my own plain pistachio nuts, (they were NOM too! :drool: ) but I only used a tsp of oil and a splash of water.

The pilaf part served 3 IMO. I only made half the salsa cos there are only 2 of us, and like I say the cauli I did all the marinade but only used it to coat enough cauli for 2 people.
