Martha's roasted plum, feta & Israeli couscous salad

1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC, gas mark 4. Arrange the cauliflower on a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil and season well. Roast for 20 minutes, or until tender and beginning to brown.

2. Cut the plums into quarters and remove the stones. Place into a roasting tin and sprinkle with pinches of sugar and salt before baking for 15-20 minutes. The outsides should begin to caramelise and they will have released some of their juices, but shouldn’t be shapeless.

3. Add 1 tbsp of olive oil into a medium-sized saucepan and heat until the oil is hot. Add the couscous and stir to coat. Cook, stirring often for 2 minutes, or until the grains look toasted and are golden brown in colour. Cover with water and allow to simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the couscous is cooked through. Drain and allow to cool.

4. Make the dressing by pouring the remaining olive oil, lemon juice and honey into a small jar. Put the lid on and shake vigorously until well combined. Season to taste.

5. Pour half the dressing over the couscous and stir to coat. Finely chop all but a few leaves of mint, then stir the chopped mint and half the cauliflower into the couscous. Arrange on a serving plate and scatter over the remaining cauliflower, roasted plums, cucumber and feta. Pour the leftover juice from the roasted plums into the dressing and shake to combine, then drizzle over the salad and finish with the reserved mint leaves.
