Cauliflower & Tofu Curry with Quinoa
This recipe combines the texture of roasted cauliflower with creamy curry. Instead of boiling the cauliflower to mush in the sauce, we roast it separately so it keeps its bite and roasted notes, meeting the aromatic sauce only at the end. This 'layered cooking' gives a much more exciting result.
