1 cup quinoa, rinsed
1 (400 g) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1 small bunch cilantro, leaves picked and chopped
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tbsp tahini

Method

1
Preheat your oven to 230°C (450°F).

In a saucepan, mix the quinoa with the vegetable broth. Bring it to a boil, then cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and let it sit covered for 5 more minutes.

While the quinoa cooks, mix olive oil, curry powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a big bowl. Add the cauliflower and chickpeas and stir until they're all covered in the spice mix.

Spread the cauliflower and chickpeas on a baking sheet. Roast them in the oven for 20 minutes, until the cauliflower is soft and a little brown.
5
In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, tahini, and lemon juice to make a sauce.
6
Toast the sliced almonds in a dry pan over medium heat until they're golden brown. Be careful not to burn them!
7
Put the cooked quinoa in a big bowl. Add the roasted cauliflower and chickpeas, and the chopped cilantro. Mix it all up.

Serve the bowl with a spoonful of the yogurt sauce and sprinkle toasted almonds on top. Enjoy your meal!
