Try this for a delicious twist on a takeaway favourite.

Ingredients:
Serves Four
1 head of cauliflower (600g)
3 tbsp cashew nuts
1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
1 red pepper, sliced
100 g baby corn, halved lengthways
1 tsp five-spice
100 g petit pois, defrosted
3 spring onions, finely sliced
2 tbsp coriander, roughly chopped
1 tsp dark soy sauce

Method:
1. Chop the cauliflower into quarters, then in a food processor process the cauliflower until the consistency appears similar to rice and set aside.
2. In a small pan dry-fry the cashews for a minute until toasted and set aside.
3. In a wok, heat the sesame oil until hot, then fry the pepper and baby corn for a couple of minutes until softened and slightly charred. Then add the five-spice and fry for one more minute before adding the cauliflower. Cook for 5 minutes until just tender. Then add the petit pois and cashews, spring onions and soy sauce, toss together and serve.

Now that I have Big Bertha (my Breville), I make cauliflower rice. So fun. I want to get my hands on a purple head.

Hi Ivy - cauliflower rice is definitely one of our favourites. It would be fun to use the purple head, apparently its simply a different variety of the common white cauliflower, only packed with anthocyanin, the same antioxidant found in red wine!! Can't be bad ...

Thanks for stopping by.

All the best Jan

How about that! Though, I dislike wine smell. And never drink the stuff. Phew. How about you? Do you fancy wine?

Hi Ivy ... yes, I can get my anthocyanin from purple cauliflower and red wine, a nice glass with a meal occasionally !
