• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Finely chop garlic. Rinse the freekeh. • In a large saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Toast freekeh, stirring occasionally, until golden, 1-2 minutes. • Half-fill the saucepan with water, then add a good pinch of salt. Bring to the boil, then simmer, uncovered, until tender, 30-35 minutes. Drain and rinse. • Return pan to medium heat, add the butter and garlic. Cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add freekeh and stir to combine.
TIP: The freekeh is cooked when it has softened but still retains some bite.

• Meanwhile, cut cauliflower into small florets. Cut carrot into bite-sized chunks. • Place veggies on a lined oven tray. Sprinkle over chermoula spice blend, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. Spread out evenly, then roast until tender, 25-30 minutes.

• While the veggies are roasting, combine dukkah, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add beef strips, toss to coat and set aside.

• Zest lemon to get a pinch, then slice into wedges. • In a small bowl, combine Greek-style yoghurt and a squeeze of lemon juice. Set aside.

• When freekeh has 5 minutes cook time remaining, heat a large frying pan over high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook beef strips in batches, until browned and cooked through, 1-2 minutes. • Remove pan from heat, then add the honey and toss beef to coat. Transfer to a bowl. • To the saucepan with cooked freekeh, add roasted veggies, baby spinach leaves, lemon zest, a squeeze of lemon juice and torn herbs. Stir to combine and season to taste.

• Divide roast veggie freekeh between plates. Top with honey dukkah beef. • Dollop over lemon yoghurt. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
