Cooking Steps

Coat the Cauliflower

  • 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
  • Add the courgette and cook, stirring, for 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.

NOTE: Adding tofu? Chop into 2cm cubes and fry in the hot pan ith the courgette for 6-8 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.
