Cook's note

Pat the chickpeas very dry so they crisp rather than steam. Harissa brands vary in heat, so start with a tablespoon if you are unsure. Swap the bulgur for rice or couscous, and use a dairy-free yogurt to keep it vegan.

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment.

  2. Toss the cauliflower and chickpeas with the olive oil, harissa, cumin and 3/4 tsp of the salt. Spread in a single layer.

  3. Roast , stirring once, until the cauliflower is charred at the edges and the chickpeas are crisp.

  4. Meanwhile, bring the water and a pinch of salt to a boil, stir in the bulgur, cover and simmer . Rest off the heat , then fluff.

  5. Stir the yogurt with half the lemon juice and the remaining salt.

  6. Divide the bulgur among bowls and top with the roasted cauliflower and chickpeas, cucumber and parsley. Drizzle with the yogurt, squeeze over the remaining lemon and scatter with almonds.
