    Ingredients

    1 small cauliflower (about 500g), cut into small florets
    350g pack diced butternut and sweet potato
    2 tbsp rapeseed or olive oil
    1 onion, sliced
    2 garlic cloves, chopped

    2. Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tbsp of oil in a saucepan, add the onion and garlic and cook for 5 minutes. Add the rice and ras el hanout and cook for a minute; stir in 500ml hot water and bring to the boil. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, then add the chick peas; cover and cook for a further 10-15 minutes until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.

    3. Combine the rice and roasted vegetables and transfer to a large serving platter. Leave to sit for 5 minutes, then scatter with the pomegranate seeds, dukkah and coriander to serve.
