  1. ROAST VEGGIE GOODNESS

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the cauliflower steak in the centre of a tinfoil-lined roasting tray and spread the Butternut pieces around it. Coat in oil and season to taste. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes until cooked through and crisping at the edges. Place the drained chickpeas on a seperate roasting tray. Coat in oil, season to taste, and spread out in a single layer. At the halfway mark, flip the cauliflower steak, dust with the Za’atar spice, and return to the oven. Pop the tray of chickpeas in the oven and cook for the remaining roasting time until crispy.

  2. LUXURY NUTS & HONEY-PICKLED ONIONS

    Boil the kettle. Place the pistachios in a small saucepan over a medium heat. Toast for 2-4 minutes until starting to brown, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside. Roughly chop when cool enough to handle. Place the sliced red onion in a bowl with half of the honey glaze and submerge in boiling water. Add a generous pinch of salt, toss to coat, and set aside to pickle.

  3. MAKE THE RUBY CRANBERRY SAUCE

    Place the cranberries in a small bowl with just enough boiling water to cover them and allow to soak for 5 minutes until rehydrated. On completion, return the saucepan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil or a knob of butter. Add in the rehydrated cranberries and stir through the remaining honey glaze. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until sticky but still a fluid sauce. Remove from the heat and set aside for serving.

  4. MASH IT UP & GET READY FOR DINNER!

    When the veggies are cooked, remove from the oven and transfer the Butternut to a bowl. Add a knob of butter or coconut oil (optional) and a splash of water or milk. Mash with a fork or potato masher until smooth and season to taste. Drain the honey glaze from the red onion.

  5. CAULI IN ALL HER GLORY...

    Place the cauliflower steak on top of a bed of Butternut mash. Scatter over the crispy chickpeas and drizzle with the sticky cranberry sauce. Generously cover with the pickled red onion and dollops of chimichurri. Garnish with the chopped, toasted pistachios and the chopped parsley. Gorgeous, Chef!
