The latest in our new video series looking at how London’s most iconic dishes are made.

The restaurant Haggerston’s Berber & Q pulls together smoky Southern-style BBQ with influences from North Africa and the Middle East. Think harrisa hot wings, beef kofte and lamb shawarma along with bright salads and vibrant meze options.

The dish You’ll find plenty of meat to murder for at Haggerston’s Berber & Q, but its signature cauliflower shawarma, which has been on the menu since its launch in 2015, can rival any of it. The smoky, richly-spiced whole cauliflower charred on the grill and adorned with tahini, pomegranate seeds and pine nuts will sate any carnivore.

Watch the video above to see how Berber & Q’s cauliflower shawarma is made.
