Ingredients
○ 1/2 cauliflower
○ 100-200 g chickpeas
○ spoon of olive oil
○ spices: Salt, pepper, ground Roman cumin, turmeric
○ 250g cooked rice (whole grain / basmati)
○ 1/2 avocado
○ 12g pumpkin seeds
○ sprouts for garnish (I recommend pea sprouts)
○ 80g halloumi (see end for other alternatives)
Quick yogurt dressing:
- 200g white yoghurt
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- Salt, pepper
- 1 garlic clove (grated or pressed)
- Fresh herbs to taste (parsley, coriander or chives)
Method
- Preheat the oven to 190 °C. Divide the cauliflower into florets and place them on a baking tray with the chickpeas. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with spices (salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, turmeric). Roast for about 30 minutes until the cauliflower is beautifully golden.
- Meanwhile, prepare the rice, dressing and other ingredients. Before serving, fry the halloumi in a pan until golden brown.
- Arrange everything in a bowl, add the pea sprouts and serve with a quick yogurt dressing. Be sure to keep the rest in the fridge for the next day.
Tips and tricks
○ Tip for extra crispy cauliflower and chickpeas: if you want the cauliflower and chickpeas to be extra crispy, stir them after the first 20 minutes of cooking and leave them under the grill for another 10 minutes. This will give the dish a lovely golden colour and texture.
○ Vary the garnishes: if you want to reduce the carbohydrate content, replace the rice with cauliflower rice. Simply blend the cauliflower in a food processor and lightly steam in a pan. If you prefer something more nutritious, try quinoa, for example.
○ Protein alternatives: if you don't like halloumi, you can opt for toasted tofu, chicken or soft-boiled egg, for example.
