1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Place cauliflower and potatoes in a baking paper-lined baking dish, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of the cumin, 1 teaspoon of the paprika, and salt. Spray with oil and roast for 30 minutes, until tender and browned.
2. Meanwhile, spray a large frying pan with oil and place over a medium heat. Add carrots, garlic, garlic chives, remaining cumin, and remaining paprika and cook for 5 minutes. Add lamb mince and cook until browned, stirring to break up mince. Add stock or miso and 1/2 cup of water and cook for another 5-8 minutes, until liquid is absorbed.
3. Add olives, chilli flakes, rocket, lemon zest and juice and mix until rocket wilts. Serve lamb with cauliflower and potatoes, drizzled with olive oil and yoghurt, if using, and garnished with parsley.
