ROASTY TOASTY CAULI
Preheat the oven to 200°C. In a bowl, combine the grated garlic, Tandoori rub (to taste), 15ml of oil and seasoning. Coat the cauliflower in the tandoori mixture, adding more oil if required. Evenly spread out and roast in the hot oven for 20-25 minutes until cooked through and golden, shifting halfway.
GORGEOUS GRAINS
Rinse the quinoa and place in a pot. Submerge in 200ml of salted water and place over a medium-high heat. Pop on a lid and bring to a simmer. Cook for 12-15 minutes until the quinoa is tender and its tails have popped out, adding more water if required during cooking. On completion, drain if necessary and return to the pot. Replace the lid and allow to stand off the heat for at least 5 minutes.
COCO-SALSA
Place the diced cucumber, coconut cream, and coconut sugar in a bowl with some seasoning. Mix until fully combined and set aside for serving.
ALMOST THERE!
Place a pan over a medium heat. Toast the coconut flakes for 2-3 minutes, shifting occasionally, until golden brown. Remove from the pan on completion. Place the rinsed green leaves, the quinoa, ½ of the chopped coriander and the chopped chilli (to taste) in a salad bowl with a drizzle of oil, some seasoning and some red wine vinegar. Mix until fully combined.
