Cooking steps

Coat the Cauliflower
1
  • Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
  • Cut the cauliflower into florets (like small trees). Halve any large florets.
  • Pop into a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add the ranch and toss to coat. 
  • In another small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with Â½ tsp salt (per 2P), half the Central American spice mix and a glug of oil.
  • Add the breadcrumbs to the cauliflower and toss to coat evenly.
Bake the Nuggets
2
  • Pop the coated cauliflower onto a lined baking tray and spread out in a single layer. 
  • When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden and crispy, 20-25 mins.

TIP: You can toast any excess breadcrumbs and scatter them over as a garnish as well!

Prep the Veg
3
  • Meanwhile, trim the courgette then quarter lengthways. Chop widthways into small pieces.
  • Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
  • Halve the chilli lengthways, deseed and finely chop.
  • Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all).
Start the Stew
4
  • Place a large pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Fry the lardons until golden, 5-7 mins, stirring occasionally. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw meat. Cook lardons thoroughly.
  • Add the courgette and cook, stirring, for the final 3 mins.
  • Stir in the garlic and remaining Central American spice and cook for 1 min more.
  • Add the chopped tomatoes and 75ml water (per 2P).
  • Bring to a simmer, then leave to cook for 5 mins.
Simmer the Stew
5
  • Meanwhile, drain and rinse the cannellini beans in a sieve.
  • Transfer one-third to a bowl and crush with a fork.
  • When the stew has simmered for 5 mins, add the whole and crushed beans.
  • Cook until slightly reduced, 5-6 mins.
  • Stir in the chipotle paste and half the coriander. Remove from the heat. Season with salt and as much chilli as you like (use less if you don't like spice).

TIP: Loosen with a splash of water if the stew gets too thick.

Garnish and Serve
6
  • When the cauliflower nuggets are crisp, remove from the oven. 
  • Spoon the bean stew into bowls.
  • Carefully arrange the cauliflower on top.
  • Finish with a sprinkling of the remaining coriander.
