Ingredients

  • 800 g cauliflower (equivalent to 1 large cauliflower)
  • 130 g onion roughly sliced
  • 80 ml olive oil
  • 25 g parsley roughly chopped
  • 10 g mint roughly chopped
  • 10 g  tarragon roughly chopped
  • 80 g pomegranate seeds
  • 40 g pistachio kernels lightly toasted and roughly chopped
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1.5 tbsp  lemon juice 
  • Salt

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C fan
  • Coarsely grate a third of the cauliflower and set aside in a bowl. Break the remaining cauliflower into florets, roughly 3cm wide, and add these to a separate bowl with the cauliflower leaves, if you have any and onion. Toss everything together with two tablespoons of oil and a quarter of a teaspoon of salt, then spread out on a large parchment-lined baking tray. Roast for about 20 minutes, until cooked through and golden-brown. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
  • Once cool, put the roasted vegetables into a large bowl with the 50ml oil, the grated cauliflower and the remaining ingredients, along with a quarter of a teaspoon of salt. Toss gently, just to combine, then transfer to a platter and serve.
