Put veg centre-stage with this impressive looking (but very easy) vegetarian recipe. The cauliflower is briefly pre-cooked before it goes into the hot oven, so it soaks up loads of garlicky, buttery flavour as it roasts. The topping is quick and easy to make, so this is a relatively stress-free meal – you can roast some parboiled potatoes or parsnips alongside the cauliflower to accompany it, or steam carrots, peas or beans on the hob during the last few minutes of its cooking time. Serves 4.
