Cooking Steps
- Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.
- Pour 600ml water (per 2P) into a pot, stir in the stock and bring to the boil.
- Stir in the pearled couscous, bring back up to the boil and simmer, covered, 12-15 mins.
- Drain in a sieve and pop back in the pot. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Cover with a lid and leave to the side until ready to serve.
TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.
- Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas in a sieve.
- Chop the cauliflower into small florets.
- Arrange the chickpeas and cauliflower on a lined baking tray.
- Toss with ½ tsp salt (per 2P), 2 tbsp oil (per 2P) and Middle Eastern spice mix.
- Bake on the top shelf of the oven until the cauliflower is tender, 10-15 mins. Turn the tray halfway through.
- Meanwhile, halve the pepper and discard the core and seeds. Chop into 2cm chunks.
- Pick the mint leaves and roughly chop (discard the stalks).
- Zest then juice the lemon.
- In a large bowl for the salad, mix together the yoghurt, tahini, lemon zest, garlic, ½ tsp salt (per 2P) and ½ tsp sugar (per 2P) and a drizzle of oil.
- Add lemon juice to taste, 1 tsp at a time. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Add the couscous, cauliflower, bell pepper, spinach, mint and half the chickpeas to the bowl with the lemon yoghurt dressing.
- Toss together until everything is evenly distributed and coated in the dressing.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper, if required.
- Divide your chickpea and cauliflower salad between bowls.
- Scatter the remaining chickpeas over the top.
- Finish off with as much of the remaining lemon juice as you like.
