SUNNY'S EASY GRILLED CAULIFLOWER IN POP POP SAUCE

Steps:

• For the cauliflower: Preheat the oven or a grill for cooking over indirect heat to 400 degrees F.
• Lightly brush the oil on the cauliflower. (If roasting, cut into florets and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or nonstick aluminum foil.) Sprinkle with salt, a few grinds of pepper and paprika, if using.
• Place the cauliflower stem-side down over the indirect heat and grill until golden and tender when pierced with a fork or the tip of a knife, about 40 minutes. (If roasting, roast until the cauliflower is golden in parts, 20 to 25 minutes.)
• Meanwhile, make the sauce: In a medium bowl, add the mayonnaise, chile sauce, honey and sriracha and whisk until smooth. Taste and season with salt and a few grinds of pepper.
• Cut the cauliflower unto large florets and add to a large bowl. Drizzle the sauce over the cauliflower and toss to coat evenly. Transfer to a platter. Sprinkle with the scallions, spritz with lemon wedges, and serve hot, warm or chilled.

COCONUT CAULIFLOWER STEAKS WITH SPICY SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Using a large knife, cut the cauliflower vertically through the core into 3/4-inch-thick steaks, then carefully cut the steaks in half through the core to form mini steaks (you should have 6 to 8 mini steaks). Reserve any remaining cauliflower for another use.
• In a shallow dish, spread the flour and season with salt and pepper. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch each of salt and pepper. In another shallow dish, mix the panko with the coconut and season well with salt and pepper.
• Dredge one cauliflower steak in the flour, then dip in the egg, turning or using a spoon to coat. Finally, dredge in the panko mixture, pressing to help it adhere; transfer to a wax paper-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining steaks.
• In a large, deep skillet, heat 1/2 inch vegetable oil over medium-high heat until glistening. Working in batches, fry the cauliflower steaks over medium heat, turning once, until golden and crisp-tender, 6 to 8 minutes; adjust the heat as needed. Transfer to a wire rack set over a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while you fry the remaining steaks.
• Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk the sour cream with the mayonnaise and habanero sauce; season with salt and pepper. Transfer the cauliflower steaks to a platter and serve with the sauce, lime wedges and cilantro leaves.

SUNNY'S EASY ONION JAM

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan on medium-low heat, add the pearl onions, vinegar, sugar, shallots, red onions, a pinch of salt, a few grinds of pepper and 1/4 cup water. Stir to combine, then cook until the onions are completely tender and caramelized, 40 to 45 minutes.
• Add the thyme and scallions to the cooked onions and refrigerate until ready to use. Serve on nachos, burgers, hot dogs, etc.

JERK-STYLE CAULIFLOWER WITH COCONUT RICE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the chilli, garlic, ginger, oil, spices and lemon juice in a small bowl with the yogurt and blitz using a hand blender until smooth. Cut the cauliflower carefully into eight, ensuring that you slice through the stalk each time as this will hold it together. Brush the spice paste over both sides of the cauliflower steaks, then arrange on a baking sheet (use two if needed) rubbed with a little oil and roast for 30 mins. Turn over and roast for 20 mins more, or until the cauliflower is tender.
• Meanwhile, put the rice in a large pan with 450ml water, the bouillon and thyme. Bring to the boil, cover and cook for 10 mins, then add the peppers and spring onions, cover again and simmer for 10-15 mins more until the rice is tender. Check towards the end that the water hasn't run dry as you may need to add a splash more. Add the beans and yogurt and warm through. If you're following the Healthy Diet Plan, serve half the cauliflower and rice, then chill the rest for another day. Will keep for up to two days in the fridge.
