Steam the vegetables until crisp-tender, about 7-10 minutes. Remove the lid and let any excess water evaporate. Stir in 2 teaspoons of lemon juice and the soaked currants. Check the vegetables for seasoning (more salt, pepper or lemon) and adjust if necessary.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high until very hot, 4 to 5 minutes. Toss together Broccolini and 3 tablespoons oil in a large bowl until coated. Add half of Broccolini to skillet, and spread in an even layer. 

Preheat the oven to 220°C/fan 200°C/gas 7. Put the cauliflower in a large pan with the 300ml wine, bay leaves, peppercorns and garlic halves. Pour over boiling water from the kettle to just cover the cauliflower – don’t worry if it floats 

Arrange cabbage wedges in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish (ideally, not overlapping too much). Tuck spring onions all around. Grate zest over top. Pour in broth and vinegar, drizzle all over with olive oil, and sprinkle with spices. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 1 hour.

Remove the honey from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature. Place an oven rack in the center of the oven, then preheat to 450°F. Heat a small pot of water to boiling on high. 

Heat a wok or large deep skillet over medium high heat for a few minutes then add in the oil. Stir in the garlic, ginger, spring onion, and brown sugar and it them cook for 20 seconds then add in the cabbage, onions, and asparagus. Turn the heat to high and stir constantly for another 3-4 minutes.

For the eggplant hummus, soak chickpeas in a bowl of water overnight.

The next day, drain chickpeas, transfer to a saucepan, cover with cold water and place over high heat. Add bay leaves and bring to the boil. Simmer for 40-50 minutes or until tender, skimming off any foam with a slotted spoon. Drain, reserving cooking liquid and discarding bay leaves. Set aside.
