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.

Dear peeps, We have let our minds wander in regar Dear peeps,

We have let our minds wander in regards to the new reality we are finding ourselves in and to say it with the words of @zachbushmd (check out his posts!) we 'strongly believe there is too much bandwidth of the collective human consciousness spent on this topic’ so we are not gonna add anything to that besides a few things:

1. @thedutchweedburger just posted an amazing article on their blog that to us says it all

2. we are not quite sure if we will be able to continue our friday posts during the coming period, but will do our best to offer easy and delicious plant based inspiration, maybe through our stories

3. because we see a lot of sadness on social media right now we thought this recipe might cheer you up a bit. Just because a smile can do so much for yourself, your body and the world around you.

We created these Pupcakes in service of @worldanimalprotectionnl and you can find the recipe via their website (link in bio) in Dutch. If you need English, Google is your friend ;-). These vegan puppy dogs are worth a translation.

Stay safe!

Maartje & Lisette

VEG BOMBED GREEN CURRY Although we are still in t VEG BOMBED GREEN CURRY

Although we are still in the middle of the winter, it feels like spring every other day and that is why we felt a craving for a light and crispy curry stuffed with leafy greens and fresh flavours. And yes, we know we promised over at MAN.EAT.PLANT. never to do a bowl of green food on a white background. But given the fact that we aren't crazy about (even our own) rules and conventions we did a delicious bowl full of green food on a light background anyway. The comfort food box is checked though, we made sure of that.
