I really enjoyed this dish. I did change it a bit, oasted the cauliflower with turmeric and cumin, and added coriander and red pepper, as well. We had it with some nice organic rump steak but I imagineit wouldnice with some chickenskewers, too. I'll make this again 😊

Good flavours and texture . I used coriander instead of fresh mint . Had it for lunch with a boiled egg!

I didn’t have parsley so used coriander fresh. No pomegranate so used red currents from a frozen mixed fruit bag and added white beans! I enjoyed it

It was a great recipe made it for four. I would recommend less mint, lemon and red onion and it was spot on !

Very tasty. It will become a regular!

I made this to take to work for lunch during the week and the recipe made a huge amount although I didn’t have enough cauliflower. Maybe the 150g quinoa is cooked weight instead of dried like I assumed? Either way it tastes great and makes a great summery packed lunch πŸ™‚
