Summary: This Whole Roasted Spiced Cauliflower might just be the ultimate Christmas Dinner or Sunday Lunch : It is plant-based, gluten free, grain-free, nut-free, it is unusual, yet a true crowd pleaser that the whole family can enjoy together.
Roasted cauliflower really does taste amazing, and the curry power and lemon juice deliver a zest and spiciness that go really well with the kale salad.
The cauliflower (whole or even chopped) will be perfect on it's own for a quick week-night dinner, but be sure to make the accompanying raw, wilted kale and pomegranate salad for a real 'piece de resistance' main course.
The recipe might sound advanced, but it really only takes 5 minutes to make the curry paste and coat the cauliflower, pop it into the oven and then the oven does all the work and it is all waiting time.

Summary: Buckwheat is actually not related to wheat at all, it is actually a seed from the same family as rhubarb. Buckwheat is naturally gluten-free, and it is a source of complete protein, as it contains all 9 essential amino acids. Traditional Galettes de Sarrasin as they are called in Brittany, France, are savoury crepes made with just 3 ingredients : wholemeal buckwheat flour, water and salt. Some less traditional recipes call for the inclusion of some wheat flour, milk, or half milk - half water, or even the addition of an egg to make the batter easier to work with. Here I stay close to the tradition by using buckwheat flour only, which makes the crepes gluten-free. You could use vegan milk of your choice for softer crepes. I also add a little beetroot powder for a pretty pink colour. Serve with strawberry, raspberry or mixed berry jam or compote to maximise the pink factor.
