CRISPY CHICKPEAS
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the rinsed chickpeas on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and seasoning. Pop in the hot oven and roast until crispy and cooked through, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway). In a bowl, add the broccoli & cabbage chunks. Coat in oil, season, and set aside.
CAN BARLEY CONTAIN MYSELF
Place the rinsed pearled barley in a pot with 400ml of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until al dente, 25-30 minutes (stirring occasionally). Drain and cover.
DRESSED TO IMPRESS
When the chickpeas reach the halfway mark, scatter the dressed broccoli & cabbage over the tray with the chickpeas (or place on a separate tray). Roast for the remaining time until cooked through.
SOME PREP
Rinse, pick, and roughly chop the parsley. Grate the cucumber and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Discard the liquid. In a bowl, combine the yoghurt, the goat’s cheese, the grated & drained cucumber, the lemon juice (to taste), ½ the chopped parsley, salt, and pepper.
ADD SOME SEEDS & SPICE
When the roast has 5 minutes remaining, sprinkle the pumpkin seeds and the za’atar spice over the roast veg & chickpeas. When the roast is done, toss through the cooked barley. Season, if necessary.
TIME TO EAT
Smear the goat’s cheese spread on the plate. Top with the loaded za’atar-spiced roast and sprinkle over the remaining parsley. Well done, Chef!
