Ultimate Veg - Jamie Oliver
CURRIES & STEWS
CRISPY CAULIFLOWER KATSU
LIGHT & DELICATE CURRY SAUCE, FLUFFY RICE, LIME-PICKLED CHILIES
SERVES 6 | 1 HOUR 15 MINUTES
2 heads of cauliflower (1¾ lbs)
3 fresh mixed-color chilies
3 limes
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 large eggs
1¾ cups fine breadcrumbs
1 onion
4 cloves of garlic
2-inch piece of fresh ginger
1 carrot
1 bunch of fresh cilantro (1 oz)
olive oil
1 heaping teaspoon garam masala
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
3 teaspoons mango chutney
2¼ cups basmati rice
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Cut 6 chunky cauliflower slices, straight through the stalks, around 1 inch thick (use up the leftover stalkless cauliflower by making my Simple pickle,). Season the cauliflower slices all over with sea salt and leave aside (this will draw out the natural moisture). Meanwhile, finely slice the chilies and place them in a bowl with a pinch of salt. Finely grate over the zest of 2 limes, then squeeze over the juice and leave to lightly pickle.
Put ⅔ cup of the flour into one bowl, beat the eggs in another, and tip the breadcrumbs into a third. Coat the cauliflower slices in the flour, dunk in the beaten egg, then dip, press and coat in the breadcrumbs. Place on an oiled baking sheet and push down to compact. Bake for 45 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
Meanwhile, peel the onion, garlic, ginger and carrot, then finely chop with the cilantro stalks, reserving the leaves. Fry in a large pan on a medium heat with 1 tablespoon of oil and the spices for 15 minutes, stirring regularly. Stir in ⅓ cup of flour and the mango chutney, followed by 4 cups of boiling water. Whisk together, then simmer for 15 minutes, or to your preferred consistency, stirring occasionally. Taste and season to perfection with salt and black pepper. Cook the rice according to the package instructions, then drain. Serve the rice and sauce with the crispy cauliflower, chili pickle, lime wedges and reserved cilantro leaves.
For that 1980s retro feel, mold the rice in small bowls like I’ve done here – it’s pointless, but fun!
AMAZING VEGGIE CHILI
COMFORTING BLACK RICE, ZINGY CRUNCHY SALSA, CHILI-RIPPLED YOGURT
SERVES 4 | 1 HOUR 30 MINUTES
2 red onions
2 sweet potatoes (8 oz each)
3 mixed-color peppers
4 large ripe tomatoes
olive oil
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
4 cloves of garlic
1 lemon
1 x 15-oz can of cannellini beans
hot chili sauce
1⅓ cups black rice
1 bunch of fresh mint (1 oz)
4 small flour tortillas
¼ cup plain yogurt
Preheat a grill pan to high. Peel the onions, scrub the sweet potatoes and seed the peppers. Cut off a small chunk of each and put aside with 1 tomato (this is for the salsa later). Roughly chop the rest of the veg into 1½-inch chunks and halve the remaining tomatoes, then chargrill, working in batches.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of oil into a large casserole pan over a medium-low heat and stir in the cumin seeds and paprika. Peel, roughly chop and add the garlic, finely grate in the lemon zest, and add the grilled veg bit by bit as they’re ready, stirring regularly. Tip in the beans (juices and all), and 1½ cans’ worth of water, then add around 1 tablespoon of chili sauce (or to your liking). Season with sea salt and black pepper and simmer for 30 minutes, or until thickened and reduced. Meanwhile, cook the rice in a pan of boiling salted water according to the package instructions. Pick 2 sprigs of mint leaves and very finely chop with the salsa veg, then toss with the lemon juice and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Warm the tortillas on the grill and ripple a good few shakes of chili sauce through the yogurt. Serve the chili with the black rice, salsa, yogurt and tortillas, and pick over the mint leaves. Enjoy!
Using veg raw to make a salsa as well as cooking it in the stew is incredibly resourceful and delicious.
MY CAULIFLOWER TIKKA MASALA
PANEER, SPICED YOGURT MARINADE, CREAMY CASHEW & SAFFRON SAUCE
SERVES 4 | 45 MINUTES
2 oz unsalted cashews
1 pinch of saffron
1 tablespoon mango chutney
1 lemon
2 tablespoons plain yogurt
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
olive oil
7 oz paneer cheese
½ a head of cauliflower (14 oz)
1 knob of unsalted butter
1 cinnamon stick
3 cloves
3 cardamom pods
4 cloves of garlic
1 onion
2-inch piece of fresh ginger
2 tablespoons sun-dried tomato paste
4 sprigs of fresh cilantro
Put the cashews, saffron and mango chutney into a pitcher, cover with 3 cups of boiling water and leave to one side to soak. Preheat the broiler to high. Finely grate the lemon zest into a large bowl, add the yogurt, paprika, a pinch of sea salt and black pepper and 1 tablespoon of oil, and mix well. Chop the paneer into ¾-inch cubes and break the cauliflower into florets (roughly the same size), then toss in the marinade. Tip into a large roasting pan and broil on the middle rack for 12 minutes, or until beautifully golden and gnarly at the edges.
Put the butter and 1 teaspoon of oil into a large casserole pan on a low heat with the cinnamon and cloves, and bash the cardamom pods, adding just the inner seeds. Peel, finely slice and add the garlic, and cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally. Peel the onion and ginger, roughly chop, then place in a blender with the tomato paste and a good splash of boiling water, and whiz to a paste. Pour into the pan and cook for 10 minutes, stirring
