Temp:
220° c  -  430° f

Step 1: You will need:

  • 1 medium cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 100 g butter, cubed
  • 1 tsp black mustard seeds
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp whole grain mustard
  • 2 tbsp parsley, chopped
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • 1 roasting tray
  • 1 saucepan
  • 1 spoon

Step 2: Preheat oven

Set the oven to 220ºC (425ºF/ gas mark 7).

Step 3: Precook the cauliflower

Put the cauliflower into the roasting tray, pour over the olive oil and sprinkle on one third of the cubed butter.
Season with salt and pepper and transfer into the oven to roast for 15 minutes. Midway through the cooking time, mix it around with a wooden spoon. This helps it to cook evenly.

Step 4: Make the butter sauce

Whilst the cauliflower is roasting, put a saucepan onto a medium heat. Add the remaining butter, mustard seeds and cumin. Stir and allow the butter to melt. When it has melted, add the lemon juice, the mustard and mix together well until thoroughly combined, into a pungent dark liquid. Season with salt and pepper and give it a quick, final stir. Then remove from the heat.

Step 5: Continue the cauliflower

After the fifteen minutes, remove the cauliflower from the oven and pour the butter and mustard sauce over the top. Mix it in well, to coat the cauliflower. You can now return it to the oven and bake it for another 10 minutes.

Step 6: Remove and serve

Remove the roasting tray from the oven, sprinkle with the chopped parsley and stir once more to thoroughly encase the florets and serve.
