Cauliflower and garlic purée with lamb sausages and balsamic roasted onions
Ingredients
Onions
- 8 baby onions, halved lengthways
- 30ml (2 tbsp) balsamic vinegar
- 15ml (1 tbsp) warm water
- 15ml (1 tbsp) olive oil
- 2,5ml (½ tsp) sugar
Purée
- 250g cauliflower, blanched
- 20g (2 tbsp) butter
- 5ml (1 tsp) crushed garlic
- 60ml (¼ cup) fresh cream
- salt and white pepper, to taste

Instructions
For the onions, preheat the oven to 200°C. Toss all of the ingredients together and place the onions cut-side down in a small baking dish. Pour over the remaining liquid and grill until soft, tender and slightly sticky, about 15 – 20 minutes.
For the purée, roughly chop the blanched cauliflower into small pieces. Heat the butter over medium heat and add the garlic and cauliflower. Pour in the cream and cover with a lid. Allow it to gently simmer until soft, about 10 – 15 minutes. Purée with a hand blender and season.
Cook the sausages according to the packet instructions. Serve the sausages with the purée, onions and fresh rocket salad on the side.
