How to make a cauliflower, bean and coconut casserole

The cute trick with this black-eyed bean and coconut dish is that it can be prepped in minutes then just popped in the oven when needed; the magic happens in the pot without any more effort required. Perfect after a busy day on a chilly autumn evening

Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Cauliflower, bean and coconut casserole

Serves 4

1 tbsp oil
200g diced onion
2 carrots, sliced
1 red chilli, finely chopped
1 vegetable stock cube
400ml can coconut milk
1 cauliflower, cut into florets (about 700g)
400g can black eyed beans, drained and rinsed
28g fresh coriander

Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the onion, carrots and chilli for 3-4 minutes. Dissolve the stock cube in 150ml boiling water and add to the pan with the coconut milk. Bring to the boil.

Place the cauliflower florets and beans in a large casserole dish and pour over the coconut mixture. Cover.

When ready to cook, place, still covered, in an oven heated to 200C/gas mark 6 and bake for 45 minutes until tender, stirring once halfway through.

Reserve a little coriander for garnish and chop the rest. When the casserole is ready, stir in the chopped coriander and serve garnished with the reserved leaves. Great with jasmine rice.
