over rice with spinach, lemongrass & Thai basil
Lemongrass' floral, citrusy flavour lacks the bitterness of other citruses. Prized as much for its scent as for its taste, it adds an unparalleled, bright freshness to this dish.

Cooking Steps
Preheat the oven to 200°C and prepare the stock. Cut the head of the cauliflower into florets and dice the stem, then transfer to a bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper, then toss well to coat. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast in the oven for 25 - 30 minutes until the cauliflower is golden-brown, tossing halfway.
Boil plenty of water in a pot or saucepan for the rice. Chop the onion and crush or mince the garlic. Cut the lime into wedges and tear the Thai basil into smaller pieces. Bruise or pierce the lemongrass in three places.
Boil the rice for 10 minutes until done, then drain and set aside. In the meantime, heat a clean wok or deep frying pan over high heat and toast the pumpkin seeds until they start to pop. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Heat the sunflower oil in the same wok or frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the garlic and onion for 2 minutes, then add the green curry spices and the flour and fry for 1 more minute.
Add the coconut milk, lemongrass, sugar and stock. Bring to the boil and allow to simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the spinach and half of the Thai basil, then simmer for 2 more minutes.
Remove the lemongrass from the curry and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve the rice and roasted cauliflower on plates, then top with the green curry sauce. Garnish with the pumpkin seeds and the rest of the Thai basil. Serve with the lime wedges.
