Ingredients
- 1 trimmed cauliflower
For the barbecue glaze
- 2 tbsp tomato purée
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp tamari or soy sauce
- 1 tbsp cider vinegar
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic granules
- ½ tsp chilli powder
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 thinly sliced red chilli, to garnish
For the zingy coriander mayo
- 2 clove/s garlic
- 15g coriander
- 150ml soya milk
- Finely grated zest of ½ lemon
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- Pinch ground black pepper
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 200ml olive oil
Method
Preheat the oven to 200°C, gas mark 6. Cut the cauliflower into chicken-wing sized pieces or florets. In a large bowl mix the tomato purée, oil, tamari, vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic granules, chilli powder and maple syrup (or sweetener) using a fork or whisk until smooth. Add the cauliflower to the marinade and mix well to coat. Set aside for 20-30 minutes.
Transfer the marinated ‘wings’ to a large baking tray – ensure the wings are not touching each other so they can crisp up on all sides. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the edges start to go crispy.
Meanwhile, to make the mayo, bake the unpeeled, whole garlic cloves in the oven for 15 minutes, until soft – they will taste creamier and a lot more delicate once roasted. Set aside to cool, then peel the cloves and put them in a blender with all the other mayo ingredients, except the olive oil. Blend for 1 minute, then with the motor running, slowly trickle in the oil until the mixture emulsifies and comes together. Continue to blend on medium speed until creamy.
Put the hot ‘wings’ on a platter and scatter the sliced chilli over for a nice pop of colour. Serve with the mayo alongside for dipping.
Cook’s tip
Any leftover mayo will last 1-2 weeks in the fridge and tastes great on sandwiches and most other things!
