Cooking Instructions:

1. TO PREPARE THE VEGETABLES:
Line an oven dish with baking paper. Using half the red onion, slice into 1 cm wedges. Chop the cauliflower into small bite-sized pieces. Add the vegetables and the steamed pumpkin to the oven dish and spray with oil.
2. TO COOK THE POMEGRANATE CHICKEN:
Remove the free-range chicken thigh from its packaging and pat dry with a paper towel. Slice the chicken into 2 even pieces and place on the tray next to the vegetables. Season everything with salt and pepper then spoon the pomegranate seasoning over the chicken and vegetables. Bake in the oven for 25 mins or until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are starting to caramelise around the edges.
3. TO FINISH THE ROASTED VEGETABLES:
Remove the chicken from the dish, cover and keep warm. Place the roasted vegetables into a salad bowl, pouring over any roasting pan juices. Add the toasted walnuts and cranberries, drizzle with a little oil and toss to combine.
TO SERVE:
Spoon the cauliflower and vegetables onto a plate. Top with pomegranate chicken and a handful of mizuna then spoon over the dill yoghurt. Serve any remaining mizuna on the side, drizzled with olive oil.
