A cruciferous vegetable, cauliflower is particularly high in glucosinolates and isothiocyanates, two groups of antioxidants that have been shown to slow the growth of cancer cells.
The lycopene-rich tomato sauce gives the dish a cancer-fighting boost while the chilli in the harissa aids circulation and the walnuts in the dukka offer brain-healthy Omega fatty acids.
