    Instructions

    1 In a saucepan, cover the buckwheat with 1 2/3 cups water and bring to the boil, then simmer for 5–8 min until most of the water has been absorbed. Drain the buckwheat in a sieve and rinse with cold water, then drain again. Tip the buckwheat into a bowl and mix in the ras el hanout, oil and some freshly ground black pepper. Mix in the carrots and oranges.

    2 Put the parsley leaves on to a serving platter, then mix through with the buckwheat. Scatter with the dill, mint and pomegranate seeds and give another mix before serving. Add a light drizzle of olive oil to serve.

    HFG tip

    Ras el hanout is a spice blend usually cinnamon, cumin, coriander, allspice, black pepper, and ginger.  Look for it in the spice aisle of your supermarket or in some specialty food stores.
