Made using store cupboard ingredients , this roasted cauliflower with crispy chickpea salad is full of flavour , rich in fibre and protein , and contains energising vitamin B-12 and vitamin C . You can swap the chickpeas for any type of bean or dried pulse that you have in your cupboard at home , and the cauliflower can easily be substituted with broccoli .
Ingredients :
For the roasted cauliflower and chickpeas :
• 1 cauliflower
• 100g softened butter
• 2 tsp chilli flakes
• 1 tsp sumac
• 1 tsp ground allspice
• 2 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 200g cooked chickpeas
To complete the salad :
• 2 tbsp chopped parsley
• 2 tbsp chopped coriander
• 1 tbsp chopped mint
• 1 red onion , finely chopped
• Salt & pepper
For the dressing :
• 100g good quality feta cheese
• 100g Greek yoghurt
• 1 lemon , juice only
• Cold water
Method :
1 . For the roasted cauliflower and chickpeas , trim the leaves from the cauliflower and cut into four pieces from the root , being careful not to cut right the way through . Pull the pieces apart . Place the cauliflower pieces on to a perforated steam tray and steam in a Miele steam oven at 100 ° C for 4 minutes . If you don ’ t have a steam oven , simmer in a pan with salted water for 4 minutes , refreshing them in cold water immediately after .
2 . Meanwhile , preheat a Miele oven on fan plus 200 ° C . Combine the softened butter with the spices and mix well . Place the chickpeas on a baking tray followed by the parsteamed cauliflower pieces . Rub the majority of the spiced butter on to the cauliflower and then dot the remaining butter over the chickpeas . Put the tray in the preheated oven and cook for 35 minutes until the cauliflower and the chickpeas are roasted and crispy .
3 . For the dressing , whisk the feta cheese and Greek yoghurt together until smooth . Add the lemon juice and enough water to make a pourable dressing .
4 . To serve , lift off the cauliflower pieces and in a bowl , combine the roasted chickpeas , herbs and chopped red onion . Season to taste with salt and pepper . Divide the chickpea mixture equally between four plates and sit a piece of cauliflower on top of each . Finish by pouring over some of the dressing .
