Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4. To make the tamari-roasted almonds, combine the tamari and water in a bowl, add the almonds and coat well in the liquid. Tip into a baking tray, spreading out evenly, then place in the oven to roast for 2–3 minutes, until the liquid has dissolved. Remove from the oven and set aside.

2. Next spiralise the courgettes and carrots with a spiraliser if you have one (see page 12) or peel them into fine ribbons with a vegetable peeler if you don’t. To prepare the sauce, simply chuck all the sauce ingredients into a blender and blend!

3. To assemble the dish, place all the prepared vegetables into a large mixing bowl, add the tamari-roasted almonds, pour in the sauce and toss well together. Plate up and enjoy!

4. For the sauce, make sure you buy a standard brand of coconut milk. Some specialist brands can be very thin and watery, and we don’t want a watery sauce!
