Ingredients
Method
- Step 0: Heat your oven to 200C fan / 220C nonfan. Remove the stalks from the cauliflower and set aside for blanching later. Cut the cauliflower into quarters, cutting through the stalk first, then into large chunks. Place in a bowl, drizzle with ½ tbsp olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Spread on a baking tray, place in the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, so that the edges are crispy but still slightly firm in the middle.
- Step 1: Prepare the spring onions, garlic, ginger, and lemon for the paste. Reserve some of the white part of the spring onion for garnishing the soup. Combine the spring onion, garlic, ginger, zhoug, turmeric, lemon and 3 tbsp olive oil in a food processor and blitz till well chopped, scraping down the sides as necessary.
- Step 2: Place a large pan of water on a high heat and bring up to the boil. Whilst waiting, place another pan on a medium to high heat and add the paste. Cook out for a few minutes to get rid of the raw flavour, stirring frequently as it will begin to stick. Reserve a couple of spoonsful of yoghurt for garnishing at the end, then add everything to the paste. Fill the pot one and half times with hot water and add to the pan, then stir well to combine. Add the stock cube and break up so it dissolves. Bring up to the boil, then simmer for 8-10 minutes.
- Step 3: Once the water is boiling, add a large pinch of salt and blanch the cauliflower leaves for 2 -3 minutes, so that the stalks are tender enough to eat. Once cooled a little, roughly chop. Once the soup is ready, add the udon noodle to the blanching water and cook for 2-3 minutes (or follow manufacturer’s instructions), then drain.
- Step 4: Divide the noodles between bowls, then sit the roasted cauliflower on top. Divide the soup between bowls, then finish the dish by garnishing with coconut yoghurt, spring onions and mint.
