Put the cauliflower in a single layer on the baking tray and bake for 20 minutes, turning halfway through.
  2. Meanwhile, put the quinoa and vegetable stock into a pan and bring to the boil over a medium heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes until all the liquid has been absorbed and the quinoa is tender. Season to taste and stir through the chickpeas, onion, herbs and lemon juice.
