Ingredients

  • cauliflower 1 (sliced)
  • red onion 1 (quartered)
  • olive oil 1 tbsp
  • goat's cheese 125 g (crumbled)
  • pine nuts 2 tbsp (chopped)
  • panko breadcrumbs 20 g
  • fresh parsley 2 tbsp (chopped)
  • harissa paste 4 tsp
  • couscous 200 g
  • Greek yoghurt 80 g

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C fan/200°C/ gas 6. Remove the green leaves from the cauliflower and pop them into the roasting tin along with the quartered red onion. Mix with the olive oil and season with salt.
  • Slice the cauliflower from top to bottom into four thick steaks and lay these in the tin too. Rub each steak on both sides with ½ teaspoon of harissa. Season with salt, then press the goat’s cheese onto each steak.
  • Chop the parsley and pine nuts. Mix the pine nuts, parsley and panko breadcrumbs with a pinch of salt, then scatter a quarter of this over each cauliflower steak pressing down lightly.
  • Drizzle with olive oil, then transfer to the oven to roast for 25–30 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and the cauliflower is just cooked through.
  • Meanwhile, cook the couscous according to the packet instructions.
  • Serve the cauliflower steaks with couscous and Greek yogurt, with the crispy leaves and red onion and enjoy!
