  1. CAULI & Chickpeas

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the cauliflower pieces and ½ the drained Chickpeas on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, ½ the rub (to taste) and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven for 20-25 minutes. At the halfway mark, add the whole, unpeeled garlic clove, and roast for the remaining time. On completion, the garlic should be soft, the cauliflower should be starting to char, and the chickpeas should be crispy.

  2. PICKLED RIBBONS

    In a bowl, place the pickling liquid, 2 tbsp of water and some seasoning. Mix until fully combined. Add the Carrot and Cucumber ribbons. Toss until fully combined.

  3. TOASTED SEEDS

    Place the sunflower seeds in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 2-4 minutes until lightly browned, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to cool.

  4. HUMMUS

    Once the roast is cooked, squeeze the flesh of the roasted Garlic into a blender. Add the remaining Chickpeas, the tahini, a squeeze of lemon juice, the remaining rub, and 40ml of olive oil. Pulse until smooth. Add a splash of water if it’s too thick for your liking. On completion, add a pinch of lemon zest and seasoning to taste. Drain the pickling liquid from the carrot and cucumber.

  5. FEAST UP!

    Make a bed of the homemade hummus. Top with the roasted veggies and side with the pickled ribbons. Garnish with the toasted seeds, picked mint leaves and remaining Lemon wedge. Look at you go, Chef!
