Curried Cauliflower Bowl with Coriander Chutney
Makes 2 bowls - Here, cauliflower is roasted with a medley of spices to create depth of flavour and warmth. It pairs especially well with the black beans, but you could swap in chickpeas or cannellini beans instead if you want to change things up.

Method
- Prepare the cauliflower. Preheat the oven to 220°C/425°F/Gas 7. In a medium bowl, toss the cauliflower florets, oil, turmeric, cumin, coriander, paprika, chilli powder, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for about 25 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
- Assemble each bowl with half of the rocket, curried cauliflower, black beans, quinoa, avocado, and spring onion. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and garnish with a lime wedge. Serve with the chutney.
- To make the dressing, in a blender, combine the corinader, water, lime juice, green chilli, ginger, cumin, salt and pepper. Blend on high for about 1 minute, until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if desired.
