Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 220*.
  • Put the bite-size cauliflower in a large pan, cover with just-boiled water. Set aside for 5 minutes, then drain and coat in the olive oil and the spices, the garlic and half of the lime juice. Season and spread on a baking tray. Roast for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, soak the cashew nuts in a cold water for 10 minutes. In a separate bowl soak the red onion in half the remaining lime juice. Heat some oil in a pan and fry the mushroom.
  • Drain the cashews and whizz in a high-speed blender with the jalapeno, most of the rocket leaves, the rest of the lime juice and 5 tbsp of water, until smooth. And season.
