Ingredients

Cauliflower

  • 1/2 cauliflower, diced 1cm
  • 1 can chickpeas, drained & rinsed
  • 1 pack ras el hanout
  • 1/2 pack baby spinach

Kofta

  • 1 pack za’atar sesame seeds
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • 1 pack Middle Eastern lamb mince
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs

To Serve

  • 3 Tbsp hummus
  • 3 Tbsp yoghurt
  • 1 pack pine nuts

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 230°C. Prep & cook cauliflower. Toss cauliflower and drained chickpeas on a lined oven tray with a drizzle of oil, 1/2 tsp salt and ras el hanout. Roast in oven for about 25 minutes, until golden.
  2. Prep kofta. Tip za’atar sesame seeds onto a plate. Mix carrot in a bowl with lamb, breadcrumbs and 1/2 tsp salt. Roll into balls (slightly smaller than golf balls), and roll in sesame seed mixture to coat.
  3. Cook kofta. Heat a drizzle of oil in a fry-pan on medium heat. Cook kofta for about 10 minutes, until cooked through, turning often so sesame seeds do not burn. Rest, covered, for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Finish cauliflower. When cauliflower has cooked, toss through spinach and a drizzle of olive oil and vinegar. Season to taste.
  5. Serve hummus topped with cauliflower and lamb kofta. Drizzle over yoghurt and sprinkle with pine nuts.
