Method

 
Preheat oven to 180°C. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and transfer to a lightly greased baking pan.

Cover with foil and make a little gash in centre with a sharp knife. Bake covered for 25 minutes. Remove foil and cook for a further 5 minutes. Liquid should be absorbed and the cauliflower and broccoli soft but not mushy.

The original recipe suggests baking for 40 minutes – this would be far too long in my oven. Adjust according to your own oven’s quirks.
