125 g Dried adzuki beans 2 Cauliflowers, leaves removed 2 tbsp Olive oil Salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 handful Parsley leaves, roughly chopped	3 tbsp Olive oil 1 tbsp Finely grated ginger 1 clove Garlic, finely chopped 2 tbsp Lime juice Pinch red pepper flakes Salt and black pepper

1. Put beans in a large bowl, cover with water and set aside to let soak for 8 hours or overnight.
   
2. Put olive oil, grated ginger, chopped garlic, lime juice, pepper flakes, salt and pepper into a bowl and whisk to make a dressing.
