Cooking Instructions:

1. TO COOK THE VEGETABLES:
Line an oven tray with baking paper. Cut the cauliflower into small bite-sized pieces and place on the tray. Spray with oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake in the oven for 18-20 mins until cooked through and starting to caramelise around the edges.
2. TO PREPARE THE SUMAC FREEKEH:
Spray a non-stick frying pan with oil and place over a medium-high heat. Open the bag of steamed freekeh, squeezing gently on the bag to break up any large clumps. Add to the pan, season with salt and cook for 1-2 mins. Allow to cool slightly then add to a salad bowl with the baby kale and spinach. Once the cauliflower is cooked, add to the bowl and pour in the sumac dressing. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine.
3. TO COOK THE POMEGRANATE BEEF:
Peel the red onion and finely slice. Spray a non-stick frying pan with oil and place over a medium-high heat. Once hot, add the onion and cook for 2-3 mins. Add the beef mince, season with salt and cook for 6-7 mins, breaking up any larger pieces until browned and any fat has rendered. Pour in the pomegranate sauce and cook for 1-2 mins.
TO SERVE:
Spoon the sumac freekeh and cauliflower onto plates. Top with the pomegranate beef, pouring over any pan juices. Sprinkle over the pistachio and cranberry sprinkle and crumble over feta.
