Serving: 2 people
Ingredients:
For The Cauli-rice:
- 1 large cauliflower
- One tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 400g can chick peas, drained
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
For the tomatoes:
- 2 tsp harissa
- 2 plum tomatoes
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
The eggs:
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- One tsp sesame seeds
- 1 tsp coriander seeds
- 50g California walnuts, roughly chopped
- 2 medium eggs
- 50g kale
- 2 tsp olive oil
Preparation:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4.
- Prepare the cauliflower by removing the outer green leaves and discarding. Break into florets, place in a food processor and whizz in batches until you have a coarse texture.
- Empty the cauli-rice into a mixing bowl, then add the olive oil, cumin, turmeric and seasoning then mix well.
- Mix the harissa with the extra virgin olive oil. Cut the tomatoes in half and toss in the harissa oil, then place into a small roasting dish.
- Next, toast the spices in a dry frying pan until fragrant. Place into a pestle and mortar with the walnuts and grind to medium/fine texture.
- Prepare the kale by removing any woody stems. Massage 2 tsp of olive oil into the leaves, making sure they all get an even coating, then sprinkle with 2 tsp of the walnut spice mixture.
- Tip the cauli-rice out onto two baking trays lined with parchment and roast in the oven for 12 minutes.
- Roast the tomatoes for 15 minutes.
- Lay the seasoned kale out on a flat tray lined with parchment and roast for 15-20 minutes.
- Boil the eggs for 5 minutes (or a little longer if you like the yolk to be cooked through).
- Mix the chickpeas into the cauli-rice and spoon into two large bowls, then top with the kale and roasted tomatoes.
- Peel the eggs and roll into the walnut spice mix, then place on top to serve.
- Last but not least, enjoy.
