Fit the chopping blade and then place 400- 450g florets in the bowl.

Pulse until broken down into small granules (about 20 -30 seconds), give the bowl a shake or use a spatula as
necessary to reposition any larger pieces.
5
Remove the cauliflower from the bowl and set aside.

Put the apricots, parsley and nuts in the bowl and pulse for around 10 seconds until roughly chopped. Remove
and set aside.

Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat then add the nutmeg, cinnamon, cumin, turmeric and paprika and
heat stirring for a few seconds to release the flavours.

then cover the pan with a lid. After cooking for one minute remove the lid and stir then replace the lid and cook
for about 2 more minutes, stirring after each minute.
