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.
