Caribbean-Spiced Cauliflower With Pineapple Salsa

Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C (fan)/ 395°F/ Gas 6

Cut the cauliflower[s] into small florets

Cut the red pepper[s] in half (scrape the seeds and pith out with a teaspoon) and chop roughly

Add the ground allspice, smoked paprika, soy sauce, cayenne pepper (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and a generous drizzle of vegetable oil to a large bowl

Add the cauliflower florets to the mixed spices with a generous pinch of salt and pepper and give everything a good mix up until evenly coated

Add the coated cauliflower and chopped red pepper to a baking tray

Put the tray in the oven for 20-25 min or until everything is cooked through and tender – this is your Caribbean-spiced cauliflower and roasted red pepper 

Meanwhile, rinse the brown rice, add it to a pot with plenty of cold water and bring to the boil over a high heat

Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 15-20 min or until it's tender with a slight bite

Once cooked, drain, return it to the pot and keep covered until serving

While the rice is cooking, zest the lime[s] (try to grate lightly with a micro-plane or sharp box grater and avoid grating the white pith, as this is very bitter)

Roll the lime[s] with your hand on a hard surface (to release more juice!) and cut in half

Add the juice and zest of the lime[s] to a small bowl with a drizzle of olive oil and stir it all together – this is your lime dressing

Trim, then slice the spring onions finely

Cut the red chilli[es] in half lengthways, deseed (scrape the seeds out with a teaspoon) and chop finely

Chop the coriander finely, including the stalks

Drain (save the juice for later!) and finely chop the pineapple

Combine the sliced spring onion, chopped coriander, pineapple, and red chilli (not a fan of spice? only add a little!) with a splash of the reserved pineapple juice and give everything a good mix up – this is your pineapple salsa

Drain and rinse the kidney beans

Once the rice is cooked, return it to a medium heat with the drained kidney beans and cook for 2-3 min or until the beans are warmed through – this is your cooked rice & beans
