This plant-based, low protein recipe is low in salt, potassium and phosphate – great if you’ve been advised to reduce your protein.

Ingredients

1 small (up to 425g) cauliflower, separated into florets

1 tablespoon medium curry powder

1 dessert spoon (10ml) olive oil

125g soya yoghurt (or dairy yoghurt if you prefer)

10g sultanas

10g fresh coriander, chopped

4 wholemeal pitta breads

50g rocket

Method

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 200°C / fan 180°C / gas mark 6. Add cauliflower to a saucepan and fill with water, bring to a boil and cook for 3 minutes so it is still quite firm. Drain and allow to cool slightly. Put cauliflower into a roasting tin and toss with 2 teaspoons of curry powder and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Roast for 20 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    While the cauliflower is cooking, mix the yoghurt with rest of curry powder, sultanas and half of the chopped coriander leaves.

  3. Step 3

    Remove cauliflower from the oven and leave to cool. Once cooled, mix into yoghurt mixture.

  4. Step 4

    Toast the pitta breads, cool and cut open. To serve, fill the pittas with the cauliflower mix and rocket and sprinkle over the remaining chopped coriander. Serve 2 filled pitta breads per portion.

Food facts

Pitta bread is the main source of carbohydrate in this recipe, and the value has been provided for those who have been trained in insulin adjustment.

This recipe is low in potassium, despite the use of a whole cauliflower that has been baked rather than boiled. This is because the quantities of all the ingredients have been kept to a minimum, therefore please ensure you follow the quantities for all the ingredients and serving sizes. The recipe is also low in phosphate, however it still contains some phosphate, so if you are prescribed a phosphate binder, you should take as directed.

This recipe is low in protein, therefore suitable for those advised to eat less protein. If you have been advised to eat more protein, then ensure you eat more protein at your other meals.

Once the cauliflower mixture has been prepared, it will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days.
