Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Pop on some gloves (optional, to prevent purple fingers!) and finely grate the beetroot (unpeeled). Squeeze out excess moisture from the beetroot and combine with the Greek yoghurt in a medium bowl. If it’s too thick for your liking, add 1/2 of the olive oil (for tzatziki and salad) to loosen. Peel and crush the garlic, add to the bowl, season to taste with salt and pepper, and mix well.

Step 2

Slice the cucumber in half lengthways and scrape out the core using a teaspoon. Roughly chop the core and stir through the beetroot tzatziki. Slice the cucumber into 0.5cm thick pieces, add to a second medium bowl and drizzle with the balsamic vinegar and the remaining olive oil (for tzatziki and salad).

Step 3

Heat a medium dry frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the pine nuts and toast for 3-4 minutes, or until golden. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

Break or cut the cauliflower into small florets. Heat the olive oil (for cauliflower) in the same medium frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the cauliflower and cook, turning occasionally, for 8-10 minutes, or until golden. Drain on paper towel and season with salt and pepper.

Step 5

Meanwhile, place the pita pockets on an oven tray and bake for 3 minutes to warm through. Cut into wedges.

Step 6

Divide the beetroot tzatziki, hummus, cucumber salad, fried cauliflower and pita wedges between plates. Sprinkle over the toasted pine nuts.
