Preparation

Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). Cut the purple cauliflower into small florets and toss them with olive oil and salt. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.

While the cauliflower is roasting, cook the black rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and set aside.

In a saucepan, heat the coconut milk over low heat. Add the grated beetroot and simmer for 5-7 minutes until the milk is infused with the vibrant color of the beetroot.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the roasted purple cauliflower, cooked black rice, beetroot-infused coconut milk, chopped walnuts, dried cranberries, and fresh thyme. Mix well to combine all the flavors.

Spoon the colorful mixture onto serving plates and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh thyme leaves. This dish is best enjoyed warm, letting the flavors meld together for a truly unique dining experience.
