CAULI ROAST CHICK’N STYLE

22 August 2019 by Lisette Kreischer Leave a Comment

In our book we already gave you a version of a badass cauliflower roast. We are such big fans of this dish, that we had to give you another recipe. If you still eat animal products, remember there is always a better veg option around. Like this one. This cauli roast is as versatile as roast chicken, and there are just as many possibilities when it comes to seasoning. This one is a sort of mediterranean version. Perfect with roasted potatoes, garlicky button mushrooms and haricots verts or a nice salad. Also wonderful by itself with some tahini sauce. Tips for this recipe were given to us by a wonderful neighbour from Tel Aviv. He used to eat this dish on the streets of his home town.

Serves ca. 2-4

INGREDIENTS

2500 ml water
60 g salt (to be accurate, please measure with a digital scale!)
1 whole cauliflower, outer leaves removed and stem cut neatly
6 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp soy sauce or shoyu (the light and salty one, NO ketjap)
1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed
½ tsp chicken seasoning spice mix
pinch of oregano

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 200 C.
Bring water with salt to a boil. Water will be heavily salty, don’t worry about this. We want the cauliflower to be seasoned really well. There won’t be as much salt in the end result if you follow the recipe.

When water is boiling, add cauliflower top side down, stem side up, so water can penetrate every little cavity. Bring back to a boil and cook for 6 min. After 6 min, get cauliflower out of liquid and let drain in colander, top side up.

Transfer cauliflower to a baking tray. Put olive oil, soy sauce, garlic clove and chicken seasoning in small bowl and mix. Brush mixture onto cauliflower, use all of the mixture. Sprinkle with a pinch of oregano. Roast cauliflower for at least 25 min. If your cauliflower is small and your oven strong, it won’t take much longer. If you have bought yourself a beast of a cauliflower, it might take up to 20 min. longer. You want the cauliflower to be a bit charred and deeply roasted.

 


CAULI ROAST CHICK’N STYLE

In ons boek gaven we je al inspiratie voor een heerlijke cauliflower roast. We zijn zulke fans van dit gerecht dat we je ook nog een andere versie wilden geven. Indien je nog steeds dierlijke producten eet, onthoud dan er is altijd ergens een betere groente versie bestaat. Net als geroosterde kip, zijn er voor de geroosterde hele bloemkool legio mogelijkheden wat betreft bereidingswijze en kruiden. Deze versie is een soort Mediterrane variant. Perfect met geroosterde aardappeltjes, knoflook champignons, haricots verts of een frisse salade. Ook heerlijk op zichzelf met een tahini dressing erbij. De tip voor deze versie komt van een buurman uit Tel Aviv. Hij at dit gerecht regelmatig als streetfood in zijn geboorteplaats.

Voor ca. 2-4 personen

INGREDIËNTEN

2500 ml water
60 g zout
1 hele bloemkool, buitenste bladeren verwijderd en steel netjes afgesneden
6 el olijfolie
3 el sojasaus of shoyu (gebruik GEEN ketjap of zoete sojasaus, maar de lichte, zoute, Japanse variant)
1 teen knoflook, gepeld en geplet
½ tl kipkruiden
snufje oregano

INSTRUCTIES

Verwarm oven voor op 200 graden C.

Breng water met zout aan de kook. Water zal erg zout zijn, maak je geen zorgen hierover. Je wilt de bloemkool veel smaak geven. Het grootste gedeelte van het zout belandt niet in het eindresultaat als je het recept volgt.

Leg bloemkool in het water zodra het kookt, kop naar beneden, steel omhoog. Zo dringt het zoute water goed door in alle hoeken van de bloemkoolstelen. Kook bloemkool 6 min. Neem bloemkool daarna voorzichtig uit de pan en laat uitlekken in zeef of vergiet, kop naar boven en steel naar onder.

Leg de bloemkool op een bakplaat. Meng olijfolie, sojasaus, knoflookteen en kipkruiden in een kommetje. Kwast dit mengsel geheel over de bloemkool. Strooi er wat oregano over. Rooster de bloemkool zeker 25 min. Check daarna even hoe het ervoor staat. Heb je een krachtige oven en een klein bloemkooltje? Dan zal hij min of meer klaar zijn. Heb je een knoepert van een bloemkool en/of een minder krachtige oven, dan zul je de oventijd wat moeten opschroeven, ergens tussen 5 tot 20 min. extra. De bloemkool is klaar wanneer hij er diep geroosterd en enigszins charry uitziet.

Presenting a killer kitchen for which NO ONE has to be killed and EVERYONE gains!

We have a new cookbook 🔥 Written for Sam and he We have a new cookbook 🔥
Written for Sam and her pig companions @mymomsam. Because with the arrival of spring, we can almost smell the roasted coals again and what mostly lies on the grill above; the creatures that wanted so much to live. And that lights the fire in our hearts and gets us going. So Maartje pulled out her knives and Lisette her camera to fill the pages of... VLAM IN DE PLANT (Veg on fire). A happy book with an activist touch rich with delicious plant based recipes, a beautiful foreword by @karensoeters and an ode to dear Sam.

We discovered the cuisine of plants years ago and have been vegan for the animals for more than 38 years combined. It was a wonderful bonus that this way of life also turned out to be a lot better for the earth and ourselves. What we did not immediately expect was that this cuisine brought us huge taste explosions! We became big and strong on the power of plants and seduced and enticed by those wonderful flavours and textures. Meanwhile, we feel it is our mission to bring out the potential of this cuisine.

The popularity of BBQ has been skyrocketing for years and we felt it was time to once and for all say bye bye to the for many, boring image of veggies and take plants to great heights by putting them on fire. The plant based kitchen deserves the spotlight. And the BBQ is a great tool to make vegetables incredibly flavoursome. By cooking veg on the BBQ with the right spices, you enrich your kitchen with insane flavours and contribute to less suffering at the same time. So be tempted and seduced by the abundance of vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, mushrooms, weeds, fruits and herbs and fire up those plants.

Available to order now at all (online) bookstores in The Netherlands, via link in bio and @maartjeborst.

Vlam in de Plant could not have come about without Pig Sam, Karen Soeters, Stichting Melief, House of Animals, Diewertje van Wering and, of course, Kosmos Publishers. We are extremely grateful to all of them. ❤️🔥🙏🏼

This delicious orzo dish with roasted vegetables takes little time to make and is bursting with flavour. The tuna-like flavour of @goodcatchfoods Fish Free Tuna by our friend @dereksarno goes well with savoury flavour bombs like olives and capers, and the creamy orzo provides an excellent stage for this goodness.

Ok ok, it might be raining tofu & beans here in Th Ok ok, it might be raining tofu & beans here in The Netherlands, so maybe it is not the best time to fire up that BBQ and start roasting the hell out of those veggies. But we pray for sunshine and when that sun starts shining tofu, seitan, tempeh and mushrooms will hit a bowl of marinade and will be roasted like there is no tomorrow.

The time we've all been waiting for is finally her The time we've all been waiting for is finally here. The summer family BBQ! The best time for a good toast under the sun, and a tasty roast too! Roasted tempeh and grilled tofu topped with tasty sauces are the perfect ingredients to set the summer vibes we’ve been looking forward to.

And yes, you read right. In the family summer BBQ we imagine, animals are more than welcome to attend as long as they are enjoying the moment with us, and not there as a sacrifice for us.

Sam and her family would be the first to say thanks for leaving meat behind this summer - and hopefully forever more! Sam is a mother of 251 piglets, of which only 9 are here today due to the industry. She became one of the lucky ones in February 2021 when she was rescued while pregnant with her little ones by @meliefanimalsanctuary. In wanting to show the spirit of those behind the isolated walls of the meat industry, House of Animals will be launching a documentary about Sam’s story and those of her piglets in 2022.

This summer and all days to come, let’s honor Sam and all the souls we’ve lost as a result of the industry by eating plant-based, succulent BBQs! Inspired by Sam’s story, House of Animals created a recipe book with the help of us, @maartjeborst and @lisettekreischer, which will make your summer glimmer with taste, rich flavors and joy. Download it for free on the website @mymomsam (link in our bio).

SUNNY SIDES UP Drum rolls, please! FAMILY.EAT.PL SUNNY SIDES UP

Drum rolls, please!

FAMILY.EAT.PLANT. has hit planet Earth and here is the first recipe to go online! And certainly not the least! Yes, we know, what you see here in the pic looks suspiciously like a sandwich with sunny-side-up eggs. But none of that!

What you see are peaches (or apricots) with a cheesy sauce. Maartje’s father used to make this recipe often on the weekend. Super easy, super yummy.

You can keep it plain and simple by just making the cheesy sauce, and prep the toast with the sauce and peaches, or you can go wild and throw some slices of vegan ham on there.

Recipe now up on the blog (link in bio).
