INSTRUCTIONS:
- Firstly, prepare the honey mustard potato salad. Dice the raw potato into small cubes.
- Preheat the oven on grill settings on medium heat.
- In a large pan add one tablespoon of oil and heat it in the oven for four minutes.
- Season the potatoes with cayenne pepper, sea salt, garlic powder and one tablespoon of oil.
- Add the seasoned potato cubes to the pan and let it grill till dark golden brown.
- Once it’s cooked, let it cool. In the meantime prepare the honey mustard dressing mixing mayonnaise, honey, squeezy mustard, spring onions, curry powder, sesame seeds, lime juice and jalepeños.
- When the potatoes are cool, gently mix the dressing into the potatoes and let it sit in the fridge.
- Next, cook the mackerel on medium heat until it’s soft enough to flake.
- Once it’s cooked take it out of the oven and shred the fish using a fork, add some finely cut pomegranate flower, red onions, nutmeg and lime juice. Place it to one side and start on the cauliflower cheese taco shells.
- Wash the cauliflowers clean and cut into florets.
- Grate all of the cauliflower except the bitter stalks.
- Using a tightly sealed microwave container, cook the riced cauliflower for five minutes. When it’s done steaming take it out of the microwave, mix it and let it cool until cold.
- Then use a nut milk bag to squeeze ALL the water out of the cauliflower rice. The more water drained out of it the better, plus the juice of the cauliflower is so sweet and delicious to drink.
- In a bowl mix the dry cauliflower pulp with eggs, grated mozzarella, salt, and garlic powder, then bind the mixture together with your hands.
- Separate the cauliflower taco dough into eight even balls.
- Use a spatula to mould the tacos into flat circles on a large pan with parchment paper.
- Cook the tacos for 15- 20 minutes on grill settings on medium heat.
- When they are cooked carefully flip them over and gently bend and place the tacos into a stainless steel taco holder.
- Now you can assemble the tacos with the smoked mackerel, the potato salad, some spring onions, pomegranate seeds, a sprinkle of pomegranate flowers and a teaspoon of THE COOLER | Nikki’s Pepper Pots
And it’s finally done!
Hopefully, you enjoy this more than corn tacos.
Oh and don’t forget to squeeze fresh lime juice and jalapeños on top!
Till next time,
