CRISPY CAULI
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Boil the kettle. Combine the harissa paste with 2 tsp of oil. Place the cauliflower pieces on a roasting tray, drizzle over the harissa oil, and season. Toss to coat and spread out evenly. Roast in the hot oven for 20-25 minutes until cooked through and beginning to char.
RISOTTO TIME!
Dilute the stock with 300ml of boiling water. Place a large pot for the risotto over a low-medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, sweat the diced Onion for 2-3 minutes until soft and translucent. Add in the grated garlic and Arborio Rice and evenly stir through. Pour in the white wine and simmer for about a minute until evaporated. Add a ladleful of stock and allow it to be absorbed by the rice by stirring regularly and gently simmering. Only add the next ladle of stock when the previous one has been fully absorbed. Repeat this process for 20-25 minutes until the rice is cooked al dente. Remove from the heat on completion and stir through the cashew cream cheese, the Nutritional Yeast, and seasoning to taste.
SO CLOSE!
Just before serving, warm up a bowl for the risotto. Toss a drizzle of olive oil and some seasoning through the rinsed Green Leaves.
EAT & ENJOY
Scoop some creamy, vegan risotto into a warm bowl. Scatter with the harissa-roasted cauli and finish off with a generous dusting of Dukkah. Serve with the dressed leaves on the side and dig in!
