Ingredients

1/2 cauliflower broken into florets, stalk chopped into cubes

2 tsp olive oil

100g orzo

2 tsp capers drained and rinsed

1 small garlic clove sliced

1/2 lemon zested and juiced

100ml low-salt vegetable stock (check it’s vegan, if required)

handful of rocket leaves to serve

Instructions

Step 1
Heat the grill to high. Toss the cauliflower with half the oil and some seasoning. Tip onto a baking tray and grill for 15-20 mins until golden, charred, and tender all the way through.
Step 2
Meanwhile, cook the orzo in a pan of boiling salted water for 8 mins, or until al dente. Drain.
Step 3
Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan and sizzle the capers and garlic until golden. Stir in the orzo, cauliflower, lemon zest and juice and the stock. Bubble for 1 min, then spoon half into a bowl and top with the rocket. Leave the leftovers to cool for the lunchbox, see tip below.
