This meal was surprisingly filling and kept us full the whole night, who knew a simple vegetable like cauliflower combined with protein rich flour would do the trick! I used a combination of chickpea and almond as they both contain protein and are quite mild so it the spices in the mix can come through. If you want more of a protein hit use almond milk instead of soy for the batter.
Cauliflower is a cruciferous vegetable that packs a wallop of health benefits as well as being a great substitution for heavier veggies such as potato. My husband loves cauliflower and since it's his birthday he gets all his favourite requests for a few days. This nutrition packed flowering vegetable is a great source of Vitamin C, and manganese, both of which are powerful antioxidants. It also contains carotenoids, reducing the risks of cardiovascular diseases and cancer. It contains detoxifying properties, helping to support the liver's abilities to neutralize toxins, and is a great digestive support, being rich in dietary fiber while helping to lower cholesterol levels.
I used red capsicum as a garnish but feel free to add any extras, salsa, pesto, even hummus, it's all about creating something you want to eat with the flavours you like. As long as you have the main base, feel free to experiment.
