Serves 4

Ingredients 1 large cauliflower

75g kale, washed

Thyme, optional 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Seasoning, to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

For the marinade:

2 garlic cloves, crushed

1/4 teaspoon paprika

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

45ml olive oil

5ml agave nectar (or sugar)

5ml truffle infused oil optional

Method

Preheat the oven to 220C/425F/gas mark 7.

Mix together the marinade ingredients.
Remove outer leaves of cauliflower. Cut the cauliflower in half and then into slices approx 1.5 - 2cm thick.
Coat both sides of the cauliflower slices in the marinade, sprinkle with fresh thyme, season and lay on a baking tray. Roast for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes take the tray out of the oven and flip the cauliflower slices onto their other side. Surround the cauliflower with the kale, sprinkle the nutmeg over the kale, then drizzle with approximately 1 tablespoon olive oil and season to taste.
Turn the oven down to 200C degrees and roast for another 12 minutes.
To serve, spoon the kale on to the plate first and sit the cauliflower slices on top.
