Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Rinse the freekeh. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large saucepan over a medium-high heat. Add the freekeh and toast until fragrant, 2 minutes. Add the water (for the freekeh) and the crumbled vegetable stock (1 cube for 2 people / 2 cubes for 4 people). Bring to the boil then reduce to mediumhigh heat and cook until tender, 30-35 minutes. Drain well and return to the saucepan. TIP: The freekeh is ready when it has softened but still retains some bite.
While the freekeh is cooking, cut the cauliflower into small florets. Cut the beetroot (unpeeled) into 1cm chunks. Cut the red onion into 2cm wedges. TIP: Cut the veggies to size so they cook in time.
Place the cauliflower, beetroot and onion on an oven tray lined with baking paper. Add the Souk Market spice blend, a drizzle of oil from the marinated goat cheese tub and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to combine, then roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
Heat a medium frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the flaked almonds and toast, tossing, until golden, 2-3 minutes. In a large bowl, combine oil from the marinated goat cheese tub (1 tbs for 2 people / 2 tbs for 4 people) with the vinegar and honey. Season with salt and pepper and mix well to combine, set aside.
Add the rocket & spinach mix, slightly cooled roast veggies and freekeh to the dressing and toss well to combine.
Divide the spiced cauliflower salad between plates. Tear the goat cheese into small chunks and scatter over the salad. Sprinkle with the toasted almonds.
