  • 4 Spread mixture over both steaks, then place in the oven for 15 minutes or until the cauliflower is soft
  • 5 Add 2 - 3 tablespoons of water with the onions to a clean pot and cook until the onion is soft, adding more water if needed, about 5 minutes
  • 6 Add the chick peas, cous-cous, stock and dried mint (if using) bring to a simmer then remove from heat, cover and leave 5 minutes
  • 7 Fluff up the cous-cous and stir in the fresh mint if using
  • 8 Finally place 1 cauliflower steak on each plate and divide the cous-cous between them
