Spiced Roasted Caulflower Curry - Christmas Recipe to Share ( vegan friendly)

How to entertain a vegan at Christmas.

It is a battle to get my husband to eat cauliflower at the best of times. So I developed a recipe that would pack some flavour and colour. I have used a organic cauliflower, fresh ginger, home grown chilli and plenty of turmeric. The marinade packs a punch. You can add more salt to taste. Give it a go. Serve alongside your Christmas roast or turkey leftovers (for you meat eaters).
