Ingredients 

Black Rub

  • 2 teaspoon instant coffee granules
  • 2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ground chipotle pepper
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 teaspoon brown sugar

Pickled Red Onions

  • 1 red or Spanish onion
  • ½ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon raw sugar
  • a good pinch of sea salt
  • a pinch of cumin seeds

Avocado Coriander Purée

  • 2 ripe avocados peeled and seed removed
  • 1 cup coriander
  • juice of 1 lime
  • a good pinch of sea salt

Tostaditas

  • 1 cauliflower head medium
  • 250 gram El Cielo Traditional Mexican Tostaditas
  • Fresh coriander to serve

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 200 degrees C
  • Combine the black rub ingredients in a bowl
  • Remove the base of the cauliflower so it sits flat in a baking tray. 
  • Drizzle the cauliflower with two tablespoons of olive oil before massaging the rub all over.
  • Roast the cauliflower in the oven for forty-five minutes to an hour or until a knife glides through the centre easily.
  • While the cauliflower is roasting, peel and slice the red onion in to eight wedges.
  • Combine the vinegar, sugar, salt and cumin seeds in a small jar and add the red onion to pickle. If you have a lid, put it on and shake. If not, simply stir and set aside until you are ready to assemble the tostaditas.
  • To make the purée, put the coriander, avocado, lime juice and salt in a food processor and process until smooth. Add a teaspoon of water to help if needed. 
  • When the cauliflower is cooked, break it up into small florets. I use a knife and slice downwards; the cauliflower tends to fall apart. 
  • To assemble, spoon a good dollop of the avocado purée on to the tosadita, followed by the black rub cauliflower. Finish with a smattering of the pickled onion and fresh coriander and a squeeze of lime. 

Notes

If you don't have chipotle powder, replace this and the paprika with two teaspoons of smoked paprika.
