Roast Cauliflower & Spiced Honey Carrots with Whipped Hummus
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….

Chinese Braised Duck
Last night I made a slight variation on this recipe from Taste. The sauce was good, and more importantly the duck cooking method worked really well. The duck marylands were cooked in a pan, skin side down, on low heat for 15 mins, then skin side up for 5 mins. Then they were covered in…
Muscat Braised Goat
It all started with Swedes. Not Abba. Tonight’s dinner is based on a James Kidman recipe from his wonderful book Renaissance. It’s out of print. I bought a kilo of goat offcuts for $10 reduced from $20. I used to buy half a goat at the Adelaide Markets for $9 a kilo. Then the price…
Pork with Apple Parsnip Puree
We made panko-crumbed pork loin with crispy parsnip skins. baked fennel, an apple-parsnip puree and poached leek with a mustard vinagrette. It was pretty good and I’m posting a couple of elements here so as not to lose them. The puree recipe came from F00d52 with slight amendment. It’s a great site, so please go…
