👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1Cut your cauliflower into large florets, separate the leaves and finely slice them. Finely slice the red onion and roughly chop up two red peppers.
  2. 2Blend up the remaining red pepper with your garlic, ginger, scotch bonnet and tomatoes.
  3. 3Heat up a large pan and add in a glug of oil. Cook the red onions on a medium heat for 10 mins until softened and slightly caramelised.
  4. 4Add in the tomato purée and cook for 5 mins until darkened.
  5. 5Pour in the blended sauce along with the cauliflower, chopped red pepper, 200ml water, thyme, 1 tsp salt and lots of freshly ground black pepper. Mix well and allow to cook for 15 mins until the sauce is thickened and the cauliflower is tender.
  6. 6Meanwhile, finely slice the spring onions.

  8. 8Allow to fry for 5 mins until golden and crispy then finish with 2 tbsp of honey. Continue mixing until the cauliflower leaves are very caramelised and crisp.
