  1. RICE RICE BABY

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Rinse the rice and place in a pot with 300ml of salted water. Pop on a lid and place over a medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 30-35 minutes until the water has been absorbed. If it starts to dry out, add more water in small increments to continue cooking. It should be tender but still bouncy. Remove from the heat and drain if necessary. Cover with the lid and set aside until serving.

  2. COAT THE CAULI

    Spread out the cauliflower chunks and the onion wedges on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, the rub, and season. Roast in the hot oven for 20-25 minutes until cooked through, shifting halfway.

  3. PAMPER THOSE VEGGIES

    Place the shredded Kale in a bowl with a drizzle of oil and some seasoning. Using your hands, gently massage until softened and coated. Set aside.

  4. SOMETHING TO CASHEW ON

    Place the cashews in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan and roughly chop.

  5. IN A PICKLE & VINAIGRETTE

    In a bowl, combine the vinegar, 5ml of a sweetener of choice and add water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Add the Radish rounds and set aside to pickle.

  6. CRISP IT UP

    When the roast reaches the halfway mark, give them a shift and scatter over the massaged Kale. Return to the oven and cook for the remaining time until crispy.

  7. HALLO AVO

    Halve the Avocado and set aside the half containing the pip for another meal. Peel off the skin, and slice the flesh of the remaining half. Season and set aside. Drain and reserve the pickling liquid from the radish. Loosen the pesto with the pickling liquid until drizzling consistency.

  8. TIME TO DINE

    Plate up the black rice. Top with the roasted veg, the crispy Kale, the pickled Radish, the Avocado slices, and the chopped coriander. Drizzle over the pesto dressing and sprinkle over the sesame seeds and toasted cashew nuts. Get munching, Chef!
