Jamie's Roasted Cauliflower Salad

This is a great, easy, different salad... I served it with chicken tikka masala one night, with pies and home made coleslaw the next night, and with tuna cakes the next....

Ingredients:

1 head cauliflower, outer green leaves removed, broken into florets

sea salt

olive oil

1 knob butter

2 teaspoons cumin seeds

2 teaspoons coriander seeds

1-2 dried red chillies

1 handful blanched almonds, smashed (I actually used raw almonds)

zest and juice of 1 lemon

Preheat oven to 200°C. Blanch the cauliflower in salted boiling water for a couple of minutes then drain in a colander, allowing it to steam dry (you don't want any water left in your cauliflower or it won't roast properly). Toss it in a good lug of olive oil and the butter. 

In a pestle and mortar, bash your spices and chillies with a pinch of salt, then mix them with your almonds and put in a hot, dry ovenproof tray to slowly roast them. After about 5 minutes, add the cauliflower. When it gets a nice bit of colour on it, add the lemon zest and juice and mix around well. Cook in over for about 15 minutes.

Thanks Jamie Oliver.
