Suga’s Tip: If you have any left over Romesco, serve it on your morning whole wheat/grain toast with a boiled egg.

Instructions:

1. Prep the Cauliflower

Heat oven to 425°F.

Cut the Cauliflower into 1-inch florets, discarding any leaves or thick stalks.

Combine the Cauliflower, paprika and 2 tsp. Olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, then toss.

2. Roast the Chicken and Cauliflower

*Ensure you spread the Cauliflower in an even layer beside the Chicken on the sheet pan

Roast until the Chicken is cooked through, then transfer to a plate and rest.

Continue roasting the Cauliflower until browned and tender, perhaps for an additional 6-8 minutes.

Return Cauliflower to bowl where it was tossed to cool slightly.

3. Cut and Cook Scallions

Cut and cook Scallions into 1-inch lengths and cook until charred for 3-4 minutes, then transfer to a plate.

4. Finish Cauliflower

Add Scallion, Parsley and Olives to the roasted Cauliflower and stir to combine.

Add a bit more salt and pepper.

5. Serve

Add the green Romesco and top with the Chicken, then serve Cauliflower and remaining Romesco on the side.

ENJOY!

Suga’s Healthy Dinner at Kushite’s Vegetable Cuisine!

PhotoGrid_1496179021118.png

It has been a while now that Kushite’s Vegetable Cuisine has settled into their spacious location at Eden Gardens. From about 2 years ago, I enjoyed Lunch from them once in a while, which was delivered from their small establishment on Phoenix Avenue. I am happy I finally got to visit their location on Lady Musgrave Road with my husband a few weeks ago on Saturday, May 13th for Dinner.

As we stepped in, we were immediately impressed with the tasteful, detailed décor, no pun intended. I admired the art work and enjoyed the ambience and comfortable seating.

Our hostess, waitress and also co-principal of Kushites, Keisha McDonald, was pleasant and well informed as expected with regards to their menu.

Their Jerked Beet Pizza ($2500JmD) is a known pleaser, along with their Sicilian Pita Burger ($1800JMD) and Lentil Balls in Mexican Mole Sauce ($1900JMD).

We ordered a few minutes after 9pm and we had a visual of the Chef, Mr. Kush Tafari himself. We could see the food was prepared fresh and when it arrived in reasonable time after ordering, we could taste just that.

My husband enjoyed his tasty Callaloo and Mushroom in Tomato Cups paired with Quinoa. He had that with a refreshing glass of Lemon Grass Lemonade.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Sicilian Pita Burger that is a favourite at Kushites. Everything combined was a burst of flavour. The cilantro cream ‘cheese’ sauce definitely gave it a delicious kick of hot and spicy and was a perfect pair for the sweet potato Piri Piri chips. The taste buds then got a little chance to cool down with the black beans and were tickled with the taste of olives.

Both meals were healthy and filling. As a fitness enthusiast, I appreciated the creative use of the ‘Good Carbs’, such as the Sweet Potato used to make the Piri Piri chips, the Pita Bread that was either Whole Grain or Whole Wheat and the Quinoa. The Black Beans and Callaloo are also great sources of fibre. The Black Beans especially, though a protein, has slow-release carbs like other healthy beans. Then ofcourse, they were alongside veggies. What was missing for me? A little fruit. This void was fully satisfied with the Jackfruit Hemp smoothie that had even more Protein. The smoothie was well balanced, as the taste of the Jackfruit was not overpowering.

Last Thursday, Kushites won the Award for ‘Best Place for Vegetarian’ at the Jamaica Observer Table Talk Food Awards and Suga definitely endorses them for that. Congrats to Kush Tafari, Keisha McDonald and the team!

Go and give Kushites a visit today and continue to have a healthy week!
