  1. FLOWER POWER!

    Boil the kettle. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the cauliflower pieces on a roasting tray, coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven for 20-25 minutes until cooked through and starting to crisp, shifting halfway.

  2. BULGUR, BABY!

    Using a shallow bowl, submerge the bulgur wheat in 100ml of boiling water. Add a drizzle of oil and gently stir through with a fork. Cover with a plate and set aside to steam for 15-20 minutes until cooked and tender. Fluff up with a fork on completion, replace the plate, and set aside.

  3. PREP & PICKLE

    Cut the cucumber into half-moons and peel and grate the ginger. Roughly chop the peanuts. Set aside. Place the vinegar, 1 tbsp of water, and a sweetener of choice (to taste) in a bowl. Mix until the sweetener is fully dissolved. Toss through the cucumber half-moons and set aside to pickle.

  4. HAKE HEAVEN

    Pat the hake dry with some paper towel. Season with salt, pepper and ½ the rub (to taste). Place a pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the hake skin-side down for 3-4 minutes until crispy. Flip and fry the other side 30-60 seconds or until cooked through. Remove from the pan on completion.

  5. ALMOST THERE…

    Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the grated ginger and the remaining rub (to taste). Fry for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant, shifting constantly. Stir in the coconut milk and bring up to a simmer for 5-6 minutes until slightly reduced. Season with the lime juice (to taste), a sweetener of choice, salt, and pepper. Drain the pickling liquid from the cucumber.

  6. LET’S EAT!

    Plate up the fluffy bulgur wheat. Top with the spiced hake, and pour over the tandoori curry sauce. Side with the roasted cauliflower and the pickled cucumber. Garnish with the chopped peanuts and the picked coriander. Delish!
