Ingredient Notes
*Not a fan of cauliflower? Just use broccoli instead. Carrots, sweet potatoes or even celeriac will work as alternatives.
Method
- Heat the oil over a medium heat in a large pan or wok and add the chopped onion.
- When the onion has softened, add the chillies, garlic and lemon zest, and a little black pepper and a pinch of salt.
- Throw in the mushrooms and cauliflower and sprinkle over the spices. Mix the vegetables and spices together for a couple of minutes. Add some of the vegetable stock if the veg begin sticking to the pan.
- Add the rest of the vegetable stock along with the coconut milk. Stir, cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Add the coconut milk and throw in some peas or chickpeas if you fancy, and cook uncovered for a further 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the spinach and cook for five more minutes.
- Serve with rice. Drizzle on some lemon juice and scatter over a few fresh coriander leaves to garnish.
