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

Passionfruit Semifreddo with Blueberries
This dessert is a take on a dish by Ashleigh Bareham on Masterchef 2015. The recipe was online but seems to have been taken down, so I’m glad I saved a copy. Here’s my version. Passionfruit Semi-freddo Scoop the pulp from 4 passionfruit and strain the pulp. Keep the liquid. Whip 250ml cream to…
Slow-Cooked BBQ Pork
Recently I cooked Ray Lampe’s “Competition-style Pork Butt” from his book “Slow Fire“. I have several BBQ books and this is the first time that I’ve cooked from this one. Ray does well to explain the basics, but also has some great-sounding recipes such a “smoked maple-brined pork chops”. The book has a range of dry…
