Directions
1 Preheat the oven to 220 °C and get a large pot of salted water boiling.
2 Blanch the cauliflower in the salted water for 10 minutes and drain well.
3 Pop the cauliflower onto a roasting tray and drizzle with olive oil and season well with salt and pepper.
4 Place into the pre-heated oven and leave to roast for 30 – 45 minutes or until golden.
5 Meanwhile, make the ragù.
6 Fry the onion, garlic, carrots and celery in the olive oil over medium heat until soft – about 6 minutes. Spoon the mixture out and set aside, then add another 2 tbsp. olive oil to the pan.
7 Cook the plant-based mince over a medium to high heat for about 6 minutes, breaking the lumps apart as it cooks.
8 Add the onion mixture back to the pan along with the tomato paste. Cook for 3 minutes or so then add the canned tomatoes, red wine and herbs.
9 Simmer for 15 minutes then check the seasoning – if it tastes quite sour, add ½ tsp. – 1 tsp. sugar and season well with salt and pepper.
