Meanwhile, halve bell pepper, remove seeds and ribs and rinse. Cut into strips. Peel and chop shallot.

In a second pot, bring vegetable broth to a boil. Add bell pepper and shallot. Cover and simmer on low heat until vegetables have softened, 10-12 minutes.

Remove bell pepper and shallot from heat and puree with an immersion blender. Add coriander and olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Ladle pepper coulis onto a serving dish and top with cauliflower florets. Cut remaining lemon peel into thin strips and sprinkle over the top.
