METHOD
For the roasted cauliflower
-
Preheat oven to 180 C and line a baking dish with baking paper.
-
Mix the plain flour, cornflour, black pepper and salt in a bowl
-
Combine the water, sesame oil and garlic paste in a separate, then add to the dry ingredients
-
Continue to stir until there and then quickly add in the cauliflower florets (it will thicken over time otherwise). Tumble with your hands until the cauliflower is well coated
-
Transfer the cauliflower to the baking tray, trying not to pour too much batter in or else this will stick all of the florets together once cooked
-
Bake for 25 mins until golden. Meanwhile make the sticky sauce
For the BBQ cranberry marinade
-
Add all the cranberry BBQ sauce ingredients (kicap manis, ketchup, cranberry sauce, mustard, salt, pepper, garlic, bbq seasoning, tomato purée, hot sauce and apple cider vinegar) in a small pan. Heat on medium.
-
If the sauce is too thick add in a bit more soy sauce/ketchup
-
Once the cauliflower is cooked pour over 3/4 of the sticky sauce and tumble with your hands. Return the cauliflower to the oven and bake for a further 10 mins to crisp up and caramelise.
-
Once cooked, brush over the remaining sauce on the cauliflower.
-
Serve with extra cranberry sauce and the sour cream
For the vegan sour cream
-
Mix all the sour cream ingredients in a small bowl, add more mayo/water if you prefer it more thick/runny.
