- Preheat the oven to gas 6, 180°C, fan 160°C. To make the dressing, boil the cashews for 5 mins, adding the garlic cloves after 2 mins. Drain, then remove the skins from the garlic cloves.
- Blitz the cashews in a high-speed blender (or a food processor for a chunkier dressing) with the garlic, onion powder and lemon juice until very finely chopped. Add half the cucumber and blend until smooth, then add the remaining cucumber and blitz until smooth. Stir in the dill, then season to taste. Transfer to a jug or bowl and chill in the fridge until ready to serve.
- Gently toss the swede in a large bowl with the cabbage, 1½ tbsp oil and some seasoning. Heat a griddle pan over a high heat. Fry the cabbage and swede in batches until lightly charred and tender. Transfer to a baking tray and roast for 25 mins. Chop the roasted cabbage into chunks, set aside and keep warm.
- Meanwhile, toss the broccoli, beans and spring onions in 1 tbsp oil and some seasoning, then griddle in batches until charred and just tender. Set aside.
- Brush the tofu with 1 tbsp oil, season and add to the pan, griddling for 2-3 mins each side until lightly charred.
- Arrange all the ingredients on a large platter. Drizzle the dressing over the veg to serve.
