Method

Gather and prepare your ingredients. Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan.

Place the chicken thighs, onion and cauliflower in a large roasting tin, spoon over the harissa paste and toss, making sure everything is well coated. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the chopped tomatoes around the chicken and bake in the oven for 30 minutes.

Remove from the oven and gently stir through the chickpeas and lentils. Toss the cauliflower leaves in a drizzle of olive oil, then place on top and return to the oven for 10 minutes, until the chicken is cooked, the vegetables are soft and the cauliflower leaves are crispy. Drizzle over the lemon juice and serve with a sprinkle of coriander leaves.
