World Wellness Weekend | Charred Tandoori Whole Roast Cauliflower


Galgorm Collection are celebrating World Wellness Weekend this September, which aims to inspire and empower people to make healthier choices and enjoy an active lifestyle with family & friends. The Rabbit Executive Chef Niall Sarhan has shared a delicious and nutritional Tandoori Whole Roast Cauliflower recipe for you to enjoy making at home.

 

Ingredients

1 Cauliflower

For the Tandoori Marinade:

100g Yoghurt

100g Soft Cheese

3 Green Cardamom Pods

1 tsp Ground Turmeric

2 tsp Kashmiri Chilli Powder

1 tsp Kasoori Methi

½ tsp Garam Masala

1 tbsp Lime Juice

½ tsp Ginger Paste

½ tsp Garlic Paste

3 tbsp Unsalted Melted Butter

1½ tsp Salt

For the Green Chutney:

30g Fresh Coriander

15g Fresh Mint

1 Green Chilli

¼ tsp Cumin Seeds

10g Fresh Ginger

2 Garlic Cloves

1 tbsp Lime Juice

1 tsp Sugar

3 tbsp Yoghurt

For the Beetroot Purée:

5 - 6 small cooked beets (about 8 - 10 ounces)

1 garlic clove

2 tbsp lime juice

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 tsp kosher salt or to taste

½ tsp chili powder

¼ tsp cumin

Add all the ingredients into a high powered blender and blend until smooth.

 

Method

Heat the oven to 190°C. Combine all the marinade ingredients in a large bowl, reserving 2 tbsp melted butter to brush the cauliflower while it cooks.

Remove the leaves from the cauliflower, then place the whole head into the marinade bowl. Make sure the cauliflower is thoroughly coated with the marinade, especially in the crevices.

Place the marinated cauliflower on a baking tray, lined with baking parchment. Roast in the oven for 40-50 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender and nicely charred on the outside. Raise the temperature to the highest your oven will go for the last 10 mins of cooking time and keep brushing with melted butter every 5 minutes. Check to see if the cauliflower is done by inserting a knife into its core – it should go through easily.

While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the green chutney. Put all the ingredients, except the yoghurt, into a blender and blend until you have a smooth, thick green paste. Add a splash of water if required. Add salt to taste (start with ½ tsp then add more, if you like).

Put the yoghurt into a bowl and fold the blended chutney mix through it. Check the seasoning and set aside.

Drizzle the cauliflower with extra melted butter, garnish with roast almonds and pomegranate and serve with the chutney on the side.

MORE BBQ TIPS

Preheat your BBQ

Whether you are using a gas or charcoal BBQ, ensure you leave enough time for it to get to cooking temperature before you actually need it.

Precook your meats

Works great if you have a large number of people to feed. Cook in a low oven, without colour and finish on the BBQ. Works great for tender pork or beef ribs

Prevent sticking to get those grill marks

Ensure the grill is hot enough before putting any food on it. As an extra trick rub the grill with a ½ raw potato. The starch will act as a temporary non-stick barrier.

Know your heat zones

BBQs will naturally have hotter and colder areas, and knowing where these are and what to cook on them will help your BBQ skills. Direct heat for searing, indirect heat for finishing cooking. The Shelf in the lid can be used to keep your food warm whilst you cook more.

Let your meat rest

Get a casserole dish with a lid, when you have finished cooking, put your meat in there and let it relax, this will help ensure it is tender. If you carve or start eating it before, it will be really tough in comparison to when it’s properly rested.

Don't run out of fuel

Seems like an obvious one, but make sure you have enough charcoal or gas in the tank before you start.

Clean up

Get into the habit of cleaning down the grill after you’ve finished will make it quicker to set up next time. Don’t worry about intense scrubbing, instead scrunch up some foil and rub it along the bars of the grill to get them clean and help keep them rust-free, too. Did you know? Half of a raw onion it will get any unwanted burnt bits off with ease!

Summer Cocktail Recipe


Try out our favourite summer sour cocktail at home, made using the new Watermelon & Basil Grey Goose Essences vodka. This recipe is provided by our talented mixologists and is sure to be a great choice for summer.

Ingredients

  • 35ml Grey Goose Watermelon & Basil Essences Vodka
  • 15ml Midori Melon liqueur
  • 25ml Fresh Lime Juice
  • 20ml Simple Syrup
  • Whites of 1 Egg

Method

  • Chill a coupe glass with ice and set to the side
  • Add all ingredients to the large half of the cocktail shaker, we advise starting with the fruit juices in case you make a mistake and waste the precious alcohol.
  • Place the smaller half on top keeping one side flush with larger half and the other creating a semi-circular opening, ‘dry shake’ (without ice) vigorously for about 10seconds.
  • Hold the tin in one hand, and clap it with your other hand as the tins start to separate at the semi-circular opening you left, Add ice to shaker, place the smaller half back on top at the same angle and shake again.
  • Once you have removed the smaller of the two tins, place your strainer on top, I hold the tin in my palm between my thumb and last three fingers leaving my first free to hold the strainer in place on top of the tin. Ditch the ice from your chilled glass and pour - for best results, use your other hand to hold a double strainer and pour your cocktail through both strainers to remove any little shards of ice.
  • Garnish with a slice of fresh watermelon

Enjoy!

Elderflower Posset, Gooseberry Compote, Italian Meringue & Caramelised White Chocolate


A taste of summer. Check out our latest recipe from Executive Chef Aidan. This dessert is a symphony of flavors and textures, a culinary masterpiece that tantalises both the taste buds and the eyes, have a go yourself!

 

Elderflower Cordial

2 ½kg white sugar, either granulated or caster

2 unwaxed lemons

20 fresh elderflower heads, stalks trimmed

85g citric acid (from chemists)

 

Method

1. Put the sugar and 1.5 litres water into the largest saucepan you have. Gently heat, without boiling, until the sugar has dissolved. Give it a stir every now and again. Pare the zest from the lemons using a potato peeler, then slice the lemons into rounds.

 

2. Once the sugar has dissolved, bring the pan of syrup to the boil, then turn off the heat. Fill a washing up bowl with cold water. Give the flowers a gentle swish around to loosen any dirt or bugs. Lift flowers out, gently shake and transfer to the syrup along with the lemons, zest and citric acid, then stir well. Cover the pan and leave to infuse for 24 hrs.

 

3. Line a colander with a clean tea towel, then sit it over a large bowl or pan. Ladle in the syrup – let it drip slowly through. Discard the bits left in the towel. Use a funnel and a ladle to fill sterilised bottles (run glass bottles through the dishwasher, or wash well with soapy water. Rinse, then leave to dry in a low oven). The cordial is ready to drink straight away and will keep in the fridge for up to 6 weeks. Or freeze it in plastic containers or ice cube trays and defrost as needed.

 

To Make the Posset

2 tbsp elderflower cordial

300ml double cream

100g caster sugar

Zest and juice of 1 lemon

 

Method

1. Place the cream and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a simmer slowly until the sugar has dissolved. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Stir in the lemon zest and juice and the elderflower cordial.

 

2. Pour the cream mixture into 4 decorative glasses half way. Set in the fridge until firm.

 

For the gooseberry compote

500g gooseberries, topped and tailed

75g caster sugar

Method

1. Put the gooseberries in a pan with the sugar and 50ml water. Bring to a simmer and cook gently for about 10 minutes, until the gooseberries are soft.

 

2. Leave to cool completely, and then chill.

 

Carmelised White Chocolate

250g white chocolate 

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 120°C/gas mark ½.

 

2. Break up the white chocolate into small, evenly sized pieces.

 

3. Spread out the white chocolate onto a shallow baking tray and place in the oven for 10 minutes.

 

4. Remove from the oven and stir and spread around the chocolate with a spatula.

 

5. Repeat this process every 10 minutes for 30-60 minutes, until the white chocolate is deep-golden brown in colour. During this time, the chocolate may turn lumpy and have a ‘chalky’ appearance - this is normal, so keep going.

 

6. Once the chocolate has caramelised and has reached the correct consistency, place between 2 large sheets of greaseproof paper and roll until 1mm thick. Break into shards and store in the freezer until needed.

 

Italian Meringue

100g of caster sugar

25ml of water

50g of egg white

 

Method

1. Put the sugar and water into a small saucepan over a medium heat with a thermometer resting in the liquid.

 

2. Start to slowly whisk the egg whites either in a stand mixer or with a hand-held electric whisk until just starting to foam.

 

3. Heat the sugar until it reaches 121°C then slowly pour into the egg whites whilst still whisking.

 

4. Turn the whisk up to full speed and whisk until cooled to room temperature – the meringue is now ready to use.

 

5. Spoon into a piping bag with a star nozzle and store in the freezer.

 

To Plate

Spoon some of the gooseberry compote on top of the posset, pipe some Italian meringue on top of this, arrange some caramelised white chocolate shards between the italian meringue.

 

If you made your own elderflower cordial, you could add some leftover flowers here as a finishing touch.

BBQ tips by chef Declan Donnolly


Explore The Rabbit chef Declan Donnolly's top tips on a successful BBQ to impress family & friends this Summer!

1. The best tip for a good BBQ is all in the preparation. Marinating your meat and poultry in advance (maybe that morning, or the day before) gives a more in depth flavour.

2. Different types of coals provide a better smoke depending on the meat. I would use a medium heat to slowly cook your meat, because if it’s too hot you can end up with too much char before the meat is fully cooked.

3. Basting every now and again adds even more flavour and it’s a great idea to use a bunch of fresh herbs such as thyme or rosemary as your basting brush.

4. Don't forget, a good BBQ also relies on the side dishes. Baked potatoes wrapped in foil cooked perfectly, a sweetcorn salsa or potato salad is a tasty option and buttered corn on the cob is also a great addition.

Why not add our delicious Sangria?

Ingredients:

  • 100ml of White wine
  • 25ml of orange syrup
  • 25ml of passion fruit liqueur
  • 15ml of lime
  • Orange bitters

Method:

  • This cocktail will be served in a wine glass, add ice to the glass and set it to the side
  • Start adding all the ingredients in the glass and add some orange bitters on the top
  • Add any fruit that are on season such as strawberries or oranges
  • Finish your cocktail with couple of straws & an edible flower (optional)
