Roasted Brassica Salad
Ingredients:
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 220ºC/425ºF/gas 7.
- Cut the broccoli and cauliflower into even-sized florets, coat with the chimichurri sauce then spread out in a single layer in a roasting tray.
- Toss in the unpeeled cloves of garlic, then spread everything out in the tray and pop in the oven. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the veg is cooked through and charred on the outside.
- Pop the lentils in a medium-sized pan, pour over the hot stock and add the bay leaf. Gently bring to the boil over a medium heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 25 to 30 minutes, or until they’re cooked but still retain some bite. Drain and set aside.
- Make the dressing by squeezing the garlic out of its skin into a bowl. Mash until creamy, then squeeze in the lemon juice and season. Whisk to combine, then add a couple of tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.
- Toast the pine nuts in a dry frying pan over a medium heat. Pick and chop the herb leaves, then toss with the pine nuts and set aside.
- Toss the hot lentils through the garlic dressing, followed by the roasted veggies, herbs and nuts and place on a serving dish
- Scatter with shaved Grana Padano and drizzle with the hot honey and serve immediately.
