Instructions

  • Place all the sauce ingredients into a high-speed blender or food processor and process until smooth.
  • Drain and add the soaked cashews to the mushrooms along with the spinach and then pour over the sauce and heat through whilst finishing the cauliflower rice.
  • Gently toast the desiccated coconut in a dry frying pan until golden brown, keep stirring to avoid it burning then set aside.
  • Toast the almond flakes in the same dry frying pan until golden brown, keep stirring to avoid it burning then set aside.
  • Remove the roasted cauliflower from the oven and place into a bowl.
  • Drain the raisins and add to the cauliflower along with the chopped coriander, coconut and almonds, reserving a few for garnish.
  • Whisk the juice and zest of the lime with the oil, reserving some zest for garnish, and add to the cauliflower and mix well.
  • To serve using a ring mould, fill and press the cauliflower rice into the ring, remove the ring carefully and spoon the curry along-side and garnish with almond flakes and lime zest.
