Cooking Instructions
Instructions for 2 people (double for 4)
1
Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C (fan)/ 395°F/ Gas 6
Boil a kettle
Remove the leaves from the cauliflower[s]and trim the root
Heat a large pot of boiled water with a generous pinch of salt over a medium-high heat
Once boiling, add the whole cauliflower[s]and cook for 7 min
2
Meanwhile, peel and chop the potatoes into bite-sized pieces
Once ready, remove the cauliflower[s] from the pot and transfer to a baking tray (reserve the pot and water!)
Leave the cauliflower[s]to steam-dry for 5 min
3
Meanwhile, add the chopped potatoes to the reserved cauliflower water and bring to a boil over a medium-high heat
Cook for 15-20 min or until the potatoes are very soft
4
Meanwhile, add the pecans to the other side of the baking tray and drizzle with the agave nectar
Drizzle the cauliflower with a generous glug of vegetable oil and season with a large pinch of salt
Put the baking tray in the oven and cook for 20 min, removing the pecans after 7 min
Once removed, leave the agave nectar to set on the pecans – these are your candied pecans
5
Meanwhile, peel and crush or grate the garlic
Chop the parsley very finely
Chop the capers roughly
Combine the chopped garlic, capers, parsley, red wine vinegar, soy sauce and 50ml [100ml]olive oil with a splash of cold water and a generous pinch of salt and pepper – this is your salsa verde
Tip: alternatively, you can use a blender to blitz everything!

Once soft, drain the potatoes and return them to the pot
Add the free from mayo and mash until smooth
Season generously with salt
7
