Cauliflower

Isn't it a beautiful word! Cauliflower, I love it!

I also love to eat it too, and I discovered a new way to eat it.

This is a lovely raw recipe that'll leave your stomach as light and fluffy as the texture of this wonderful cauli creation, here it is...

Ingredients

1 lovely cauliflower
1 cup cashews - soaked for 4 hours or overnight
1 cup sultanas
1 clove garlic
2 spring onions
zest of 1 lemon
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp olive oil
handful of green beans - chopped
1/2 tsp nutmeg
sprinkle of black pepper

Chop the cauliflower into chunky florets, transfer to blender and wizz for 1 minute until it resembles a rice consistency, like this..

Pop in a large bowl andd set aside.
Then blend the cashews, lemon juice and zest, olive oil, spring onions and garlic until smooth and creamy, like this..

Then combine the the two..the sauce and the cauli, then sprinkle in the sultanas and green beans and season with nutmeg and black pepper..

Finito!

This is a really lovely light raw food meal, full of nutrients and light and fluffy flavours, the creaminess of the cashew sauce goes really well with the cauliflower and nutmeg, although, I think when I make it again, I'll leave out the spring onions..just because they repeat on me so much when they're raw! They do give the dish lots of flavour though..so you may wish to leave them in..unless you have an onion problem..like me!

I made this as a takeaway lunch with some tasty green gem lettuce..

..and then topped with some chestnut mushrooms..yum!

You can also gently heat this up in a small pan if you fancy a warmer meal in your tum :)
