Warming Turmeric Roast Cauliflower and Chickpea Orzo salad

This salad takes a bit of prep but it’s worth it and the flavour is superb. I love the chunky ‘zhoug’ a hot sauce originating from Yemen. It goes well with meat, fish, tofu or halloumi.

To make it :

1. Traybake the cauliflower with the onion, a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and turmeric (mine if from @seasonedpioneers

2. I used @profusionorganic chickpea Orzo which I just love , it takes 5 minutes simmering in water to make

3. Mix the lemon juice, mashed garlic, chopped parsley, sultanas, chopped dates, olive oil and use it to coat the orzo. Let it sit.

4. In a food processor make a Zhoug by blasting coriander and parsley, ground cumin, red wine vinegar ( I used @osuvinegar blueberry and pomegranate ACV) , a green chilli for some punch and a little olive oil.

5. In a bowl toss the cauliflower, orzo and the zhoug and sprinkle pine nuts or chopped pistachios over the top
