Ingredients

  1. 1 medium cauliflower
  2. 1-2 tbsp olive oil
  3. 1 tsp fennel seeds
  4. 200 g pack of freekeh
  5. 1 tbsp olive oil
  6. 2 medium leeks washed and sliced
  7. 2 cloves of garlic crushed
  8. 1 400 g tin of butterbeans
  9. 1 tsp sumac
  10. Small handful of flatleaf parsley finely chopped
  11. Salt and pepper

Preparation

  • Pre-heat the oven to 180°C (fan)/200°C/gas mark 6.
  • Break the cauliflower into florets, drizzle with olive oil and fennel seeds and roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes, stirring half way.
  • Cook the freekeh according to the packet instructions. Drain when cooked and set aside.
  • When the cauliflower is almost done fry the leeks in olive oil, stirring often, until cooked. Add the crushed garlic and cook for a further minutes.
