Cauliflower, peppers, buckwheat
Ingredients for 2 portions:
- 1 cauliflower
- 2 red onions
- olive oil
- 150g roasted buckwheat grain
- 3 red Romano peppers
- 60g almonds
- 10g garlic (about 2 cloves)
- 30g olive oil
- 20g red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Chipotle chilli powder (or a mix of smoked paprica powder and chilli powder)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Methods:
- Preheat the oven to 200C.
- Cut the peppers in half (or into 3 or 4 flat sides if using bell peppers). Lightly coat them in olive oil and arrange them skin-side up on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Add almonds to one side of the baking sheet (they’ll come out before the peppers do). Place on the top rack of the oven.
- Cut the onions into quarters (or half 4 small onions, or cut a big one into 8 pieces). Cut the cauliflower into large florets. Arrange them on a different baking sheet lined with baking paper. Spray, or otherwise coat, them in olive oil. Bake in the middle of the oven until they start to char.
- Once the almonds smell really nice and start to change colour, take them out.
- Start boiling the buckwheat in cold water.
- For the Romesco sauce, roughly chop the garlic and place it into a bowl along with olive oil (30g), red wine vinegar, Chipotle powder and salt.
- Once the pepper skins start to char, take them out of the oven and add them to the bowl. Add roughly chopped almonds and handblender everything into a sauce.
- To serve, heap the buckwheat on one side of the plate and cover the other side in sauce. Place cauliflower and onions on top.
