Roasted cauliflower to crispy perfection, this dish has a delicious combination of spice and sweetness.

Ingredients:

• 4 medium carrots
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 4 shallots
• 1/4 bunch parsley
• 1 tsp 5 spice powder
• olive oil
• 1 red chilli

Method:

1. Preheat your oven to 200c.
2. Cut your cauliflower into large florets.  Brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place them into a large roasting tray and roast for 20-30 minutes until golden brown. Turn them at least once to ensure an even roast.

4. Defrost the peas under cold water and set aside.
5. For the dressing, finely dice the shallots and slice the chilli and parsley. Then add to the vinegar and set aside.
6. To serve, spoon the puree onto a plate, then place the cauliflower on top. Sprinkle over some peas and spoon over some of the dressing.
