The slightly caramelised cauliflower and potatoes are a great counterfoil for the punchy dressing.  Serve with rice for a satisfying main course, or as a delicious side dish.  Start by using half the dressing ingredients until you get it just as tart and spicy (or mild) as you like it, the soaked raisins add a delicious hint of sweetness.  Cauliflower is a cruciferous vegetable with thiamin, riboflavin, phosphorus and potassium, vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin B6, folate, pantothenic acid and manganese.  And chickpeas are good for you too!

Ingredientes sirve 2 (as a main course with rice, o 3 a 4 as a side dish)

a cauliflower, rebanado (into around 1cm slices)

2 papas medianas (about 400g) fregado, halved and each half cut into quarters

a red onion, rebanado, save a quarter to garnish later

una lata de 400 g de garbanzos

media cucharadita de semillas de comino secos

aceite vegetal

sal y pimienta

For the dressing to taste*

2 handfuls of raisins (60g)

the juice of a lemon

a 2cm piece of ginger, picado

2 garlic cloves, picado

2 tablespoons of toasted sesame oil

una cucharada de salsa de soja

una cucharadita de chiles secos




Método

Precaliente el horno a 200 º C (500F, termostato 6)

Toss the potatoes, cauliflower and three quarters of the red onion in oil and roast for 30 acta

Meanwhile make the dressing, (I use a small jar with a lid so it can be shaken, and any left over can be stored). You could just shake all the ingredients together for a strong dressing or add them gradually and taste as you go*

Once the vegetables have been roasting for half an hour remove them from the oven, sazone con sal, pepper and the cumin seed and toss around in the oil.  Roast for another 20 minutes or so until they are tender.  Nows the time to put on the arroz (si se utiliza)

Once the vegetables are soft, golden and slightly caramelised, pour over the dressing and garnish with the raw, sliced red onion
