Method

  1. Preheat oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Put the harissa, oil and garlic in a bowl, season and stir to combine.
  2. Spread out the broccoli, cauliflower and red onion wedges on a large baking tray. Pour over half the harissa marinade, mixing so that the veg is fully coated. Roast for 25-30 mins or until tender.
  3. Meanwhile, pour the remaining marinade into a medium saucepan and add the chopped onion. Cook on a low heat for 10 mins, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add the lentils and a splash of water to loosen. Stir to coat the lentils in the marinade and simmer for 3-4 mins until heated through.
  4. Put the houmous in a small bowl with 3 tbsp water and stir until smooth.
  5. Top the lentils with the roasted veg. Scatter with coriander and finish with a drizzle of the houmous sauce.
