Roast Cauliflower & Spiced Honey Carrots with Whipped Hummus
By admin 2 Comments
I sometimes say “This dish is going on the Cafe Menu” – which means that if I were ever to start a cafe, this dish would be on the menu. I’ve gathered together three of Yotam Ottolenghi’s ideas and added a bit.
Serves 2 people.
Whipped Hummus
I’m not even sure if Ottolenghi uses this term, but others do. The idea is that the hummus is smooth and creamy.
The simplest thing is to follow Ottolenghi’s advice here. The secret is to use dried chickpeas and use the bicarb of soda to help get rid of the hulls.
NOTE: Save 2/3 cup of the whole, cooked chickpeas (see below).
Carrot and Cauliflower
Divide 1/4 of a small to medium cauliflower into florets. Mix with 1 tbsp olive oil and 1/2 tsp salt.
The carrots are part of a recipe from his book Plenty More. Just buy it. The book is fantastic….
Pumpkin and Goat Cheese Ravioli
We have a glut of pumpkin. Last night I made this easy and tasty cheat’s ravioli using gow gees dumpling pastry. This made about 18 ravioli which is enough for 3 people. The quantities are all very approximate! 2.5 to 3 cups of roast pumpkin 100gms of soft goat cheese 2 to 3 tbsp grated…
Cauliflower Cheese Soup
Here’s a remake of an old favourite. This is adapted from Moosewood Restaurant Low-Fat Favourites – a must-have in every kitchen. I admit I tend to up the fat content at every opportunity though… Before you start, make parmesan crisps. Grate some parmesan finely. Using a ring, make parmesan rounds on baking paper, or better…
Fermenting Gear
I though I’d post about my two fermenting tools. You can spend a lot of money buying ceramic crocks for hundreds of dollars. And yes, I’d love to! However you can get started more easily with some cheaper gear. The Masontops Fermentation Kit is an excellent way to get started. You get 4 plastic breathing…
Habanero Mango Curry Sauce
Is this the final hot sauce? Not sure yet! This one will blow your head off. It’s adapted from a recipe in Big Flavours of the Hot SunĀ by Chris Schlesinger and John Willoughby. This is one of my all-time favourite cookbooks for spice. I bought it on sale at Barnes and Noble in Dallas…
