Ingredients:

  • 6 medium potatoes

  • Salt and black pepper (to taste)

  • 4 tbsp vegetable oil

  • 2 tbsp butter

  • Leaves and stems from a cauliflower

1) Rosti


PREP: Scrub and grate the potatoes with their skin on into a clean tea towel. Twist the towel around the potato and squeeze out any excess water. Tip the squeezed potatoes into a bowl and mix well with salt and pepper.


COOK: Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Use your hands to compact the potato into burger shapes. Carefully place them in the frying pan, add the butter and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crisp.

2) Roast cauliflower leaves


Cut the thickest stems into 3cm-long pieces, toss everything in olive oil, a little salt, and a sprinkle of ground cumin or curry powder and then roast at 180C for 20-30 minutes, until crisp and slightly charred. Serve with your rosti alongside your favourite curry – or eat as a snack.
