Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas 6.
  • Put the trimmed purple sprouting broccoli on a baking tray. Add the cauliflower florets cut in halves. Drizzle with some olive oil. Toss well. Cook for 15-20 mins until slightly crispy. 3 mins before the end, spread pine nuts to roast on top of the vegetables.
  • In the meantime make the salsa verde by mixing together capers, Dijon mustard, basil, mint, parsley, garlic, vinegar with 4-5 Tbsp of olive oil. You can either blizz all the ingredients to a paste in a blender or cut herbs and capers by hand with a sharp knife.
  • Drain the chickpeas. Place in a salad bowl. Add the roasted vegetables, pine nuts plus finely chopped peppers. Toss in salsa verde. Season to taste. Serve straight away.
