Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the butternut chunks on half of a roasting tray, coat in oil, and season. Roast in the hot oven for 25-30 minutes until cooked through and crisping up, shifting halfway.
CREAMY RICE
Rinse the rice under cold water until it runs clear. Place in a lidded pot, over a medium-high heat with the coconut cream, a sweetener of choice and 100ml of water. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the cream has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Add water if it starts to dry out. On completion, remove from the heat and fluff up with a fork.
CRUMBING STATION
In two shallow dishes, place 1 egg and 1 tbsp of water, and in the other, the panko breadcrumbs with some seasoning. Coat the cauliflower florets in the egg mixture, then the panko crumbs – press into the florets so it sticks and coats evenly. When the butternut has 15-20 minutes remaining, add the crumbed cauliflower to the other side of the roasting tray. Drizzle over some oil and roast for the remaining time until cooked through and golden.
TOASTY NUTS
Place the pecans in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden brown, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and roughly chop.
STICKY SAUCE
When the cauli has 5 minutes remaining, return the pan to a medium-high heat. Once hot, add the sweet Thai chilli sauce, pomegranate molasses, grated ginger, grated garlic and soy marinade. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat and leave to simmer for about 5 minutes until reduced and thickened. Add water in 5ml increments if it reduces too quickly. Add in the crumbed cauli and toss until coated.
CRISPY & STICKY DINNER!
Plate up a generous helping of the coconut rice. Top with the sticky, crispy cauli and pour over the remaining sauce. Side with the crispy butternut and sprinkle over the quartered grapes, fresh coriander and the pecan nuts. Stunning!
