Here's the thing... I've been wanting to try this for a while. My daughter is vegetarian and always misses out when I make the Fishcakes. I had the idea of making them with cauliflower and here is Version 1.0
Recipe:

• 1 Cauliflower (See notes)
• 1 bunch Spring Onion
• 4 Cloves Garlic
• Diced sweet pepper
• tsp all purpose seasoning
• 1 egg
• 250ml milk (coconut milk can be added to make this dairy free)
• 1 chilli
• tsp Curry powder
• tsp Turmeric
• Fresh chopped parsley (to taste)
• vest of 1 lemon ( Save the rest to squeeze on them once done)
• tsp mixed herbs
• tsp Hot pepper sauce
• 300g Self raising flour (Gluten free can be used)

The cauliflower should be salted/brined for 24 hours before use. Just sprinkle with salt in a bowl and cover with clingfilm. Leave in the fridge. Wash thoroughly, chop raw and add to batter.

All the ingredients can go in a blender together. Gently add to bring the mix together. You want to be able to drop a fairly solid spoonful into the deep fryer (180c)

So, I have never made Jollof rice before and being totally honest, I don't recall ever eating it. It's just one of those dishes which has passed me by. Coming from a West Indian background, my family hailing from Barbados. We were firmly raised on Rice n Peas. My mum's version of which, was made using Black Eye Peas. Jollof is a popular as part of Nigerian cuisine. That's about the extent of my knowledge. Totally embarrassed by that. I understand that my Bajan rice n peas is grandchild of Jollof. Generations later, here I am doing a google search to find out how to make it. 
Here is the recipe I used. It takes the recipes I found online and blends them with what I actually had in my cupboard.

• Fry a finely chopped onion with Garlic, Chilli, Cumin, Curry powder, Ginger and Smoked Paprika
• Add a cup of easy cook Long grain rice
• Add 2 tablespoons on tomato puree
• Add a cup of Passata (blended tinned tomatoes) 
• add a cup of good quality stock (Chicken or Vegi)
• Cover and cook on low heat for about 30 minutes. 

For my experimental version, I actually threw in half a tin of kidney beans which were hanging around in my fridge. As well as a small bag of frozen vegetables. I believe this may be frowned upon in the African cookery community. But I wont tell, if you won't😊 

Topped it off with some grilled Plantain and chopped parsley.
