- 1L (4 cups) Massel chicken style liquid stock

Increase heat to medium-high and bring to the boil. Cook, uncovered, for 30 minutes or until cauliflower is tender. Drain and discard liquid. Place thecauliflower mixture and cumin in the bowl of a food processor and process until pureed. Transfer to a bowl. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
- Step 3Heat a chargrill over medium heat. Drain veal and discard marinade. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Cook half the veal on chargrill, turning once during cooking, for 15 minutes for medium or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate and cover loosely with foil. Repeat with remaining veal.

Notes
Prep: 12 mins (+ 3 hours or overnight marinating time) You can prepare the veal (step 1) up to 1 day ahead. Make the cauliflower puree (step 2) up to 6 hours ahead. Cool and store in an airtight container in the fridge. To reheat, place puree in a saucepan and stir over low heat until heated through. Continue from step 3, 15 minutes before serving. Coriander seeds are available from most supermarkets and spice outlets. Mizuna is a salad leaf that’s similar to rocket; it’s available from supermarkets and greengrocers.
