Spiced cauliflower naan
40 MINUTES | SERVES 4 | EASY | V
The spiciness of the cauliflower is offset by the nutty sauce and yogurt. You can also serve this without the naan as a warm salad with watercress dressed with lemon juice and olive oil.

pomegranate seeds a large handful
coriander a large handful of leaves
red onion Ω, finely sliced and tossed with lemon juice and salt
• Heat the oven to 220C/fan 200C/ gas 7. Cut the cauliflower into small florets, put in a roasting tray and drizzle with the olive oil. Sprinkle over the spices, some salt and a few twists of black pepper and toss well. Roast for 15-20 minutes or until browned.
• Combine all the ingredients for the mint yogurt in a bowl and season.
• To make the hazlenut sauce, toast the nuts in a frying pan for a few minutes until fragrant and light golden. Cool, then blitz the hazelnuts, parmesan and lemon juice with 2 tbsp of water in a food processor. Slowly drizzle in the oil with the blades running until you get a hummus-like consistency. Taste for seasoning and acidity, adjust if necessary, then blitz one more time.
• To assemble, spoon a generous amount of sauce onto the middle of each naan and spread evenly. Top with cauliflower and mint yoghurt, then scatter over some pomegranate seeds, coriander leaves and onions. Serve immediately.
