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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
