Recipe By Courtney Roulston

Ingredients

  • 1 large Coles cauliflower, cut into florets

  • 3 tbs Squeaky Gate extra virgin olive oil

  • 1 tsp ground cumin

  • 1 tsp ground coriander

  • 1 tsp paprika 

  • ½ tsp garlic powder

  • ½ tsp onion powder

  • 400g can black beans, drained

  • sea salt and pepper to taste 

Toppings

  • 250 g punnet Coles gold & red Perino tomatoes, sliced

  • 1 avocado, sliced into wedges

  • 1 French red shallot, sliced into thin rings 

  • 1 fresh jalapeno chilli, sliced 

  • ½ cup coriander sprigs 

  • 1 fresh lime, cut into wedges 

Cashew Cheese

  • ¾ cup raw cashews, soaked in boiling water for 1 hour, drained

  • 2 tbs nutritional yeast 

  • 1 tbs Coles apple cider vinegar 

Method

  • Pre heat the oven to 180 degrees (°C). Toss the cauliflower florets and stems in a large bowl with 2 tablespoons of the oil, cumin, coriander, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt and pepper. Spread out onto a lined oven tray and roast for 20 minutes or until golden. 

  • Remove from the oven, scatter over the black beans and roast for a further 10 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and the beans have split slightly, then remove from oven and set aside.

  • Meanwhile place the drained cashews into a high-speed blender along with the nutritional yeast, vinegar, ½ cup water and a pinch of salt. Blitz until smooth and creamy, adding a little extra water if the mixture needs loosening.

  • To serve, scatter over the tomatoes, avocado, cashew cheese, shallot, coriander and lime wedges.
