Nadia gives you another easy recipe for your family and you’ll find all the ingredient­s in My Food Bag.

Before you start: Preheat oven to 230C (or 210C fan bake). Bring a full kettle to the boil.

Prep and cook vegetables: Cut cauliflowe­r into small florets and slice leek into rounds. Toss on a lined oven tray with pumpkin, spices and olive oil. Season with salt and roast in oven for about 20 minutes, until tender.

Cook bulgur: In a large heatproof bowl, add bulgur and cover with boiling water. Cover and leave to soak 15-18 minutes, until grains are tender. Drain well and return to bowl.

Prep and cook haloumi: Thinly slice haloumi, toss with spices. When veges have about 5 minutes remaining, heat oil in a large frypan on medium-high heat. Cook haloumi for 1-2 minutes each side, until golden and soft. Keep warm.

Prep mint: While haloumi cooks, pick mint for serving.

Finish bulgur: When vegetables are cooked, remove from oven and add to bowl with bulgur with vinegar and olive oil. Toss well to combine and season to taste.

Serve: Bulgur and vegetables with haloumi, yoghurt and a sprinkle of mint.
