If, like us, you’ve had a weekend of over-eating, give this porky roasted cauliflower and greens recipe a go. This is great for when you’re catering for veggies or vegans as well, because you can just chuck on the bacon at the end of the dish for yourself, and leave it out for the vegetarian version. With dashes of lemon and garlic, this dish has hints of Middle Eastern and British flavours and is great for sneaking in protein.
