Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 9, 240°C, fan 220°C. Rinse the rice until the water that comes off is clear. Cover with more fresh water in a bowl; leave to soak. Put the onion in a bowl, add the lemon juice and a pinch of salt; toss to coat. Set aside to pickle.
- Put the cauliflower in a deep roasting tin, about 40 x 45cm, and toss with the harissa seasoning and oil; season. Roast for 10-15 mins until just starting to turn golden at the edges.
- Drain the rice and add to the cauliflower tin, along with the hot stock. Mix briefly, then cover with foil and crimp around the edges to create a seal to keep in the steam. Bake for 20 mins.
- Remove the foil from the tin (being careful of the steam), fluff up the rice with a fork, then stir in the peas, green beans and spinach. Add the foil back if the rice is looking a little dry, or leave it off if there’s some stock left. Cook for a further 5 mins until the greens are piping hot and the rice is tender. Scatter with the onion and any pickling liquid to serve.
