Roasted  Whole Cauliflower, 
as seen inYotam Ottolenghi Simple cookbook

Ingredients
one jumbo cauliflower
3 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp olive oil
flaked sea salt

 

Preheat the oven to 375

 

1. Using a pair of scissors, trim the leaves on the cauliflower

 

leaving about 2" of leaves

2. Fill a pan 3/4 full of salted water. Bring to a boil, then

 

carefully lower in the cauliflower, exposed head down- don't

 

worry if the base is sticking out a little. Return to a boil, cook

 

for 6 minutes, then use a slotted spoon to transfer the

 

cauliflower into a colander. Set aside for 10 minutes to drain

 

and cool.

3. Mix together the butter and oil. Place the cauliflower exposed head facing up, on a baking sheet or I use my Staub pot that I boiled the cauliflower in. Spread the butter-oil mix all over the cauliflower, followed by sprinkling of salt.Place in the oven and roast for 1 1/2- 2 hours.
