METHOD

1 Pre-heat the oven to 180°C/fan 160°C/gas 4.

garlic in a roasting dish and add some coconut oil. Roast for about 15 to 18 minutes until cooked. Toss from time to time.

3 To prepare the cakes, place the mashed potatoes, paprika, kale, parsley and cumin into a bowl, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. If the mix is too stiff, add in a tablespoon or two of almond milk.

6 Heat a frying pan with a little coconut oil, add the cakes and fry until golden, then turn over and brown on the other side.

7 To serve, place a flat cake onto serving plates, spoon over the roasted tomatoes and their juices. Garnish with sprigs of rosemary or thyme and some toasted cashew nuts if you are using them.
