For the Salsa

For the Cauliflower Patties
- Combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
- Cut or break the cauliflower head into small florets and put them in a pot. Cover with water and add a bit of salt. Cook on medium high heat until the cauliflower florets are tender. Drain the water away and pour the cauliflower florets into a food processor along with the chickpeas, parsley, chopped sundried tomatoes, and minced garlic. Pulse everything together in the food processor until it's combined (be careful not to overproces it). Add the peas and pulse quickly together so there's still a few whole peas left.
- Use a spoon to form 10 patties out of the cauliflower mixture. Dip the cauliflower patties in the mixed dry ingredients and cover everything thoroughly. Next, heat up a frying pan and cook the cauliflower patties in coconut oil for 3-5 minutes on each side or until they are beautifully golden on the outside.
