People often assume cauliflower is a bit bland or boring, but I beg to differ. This recipe demonstrates wonderfully how good cauliflower is at mopping up flavour, and makes for a unique take on a vegetable that is often underutilised – despite its lovely array of health benefits. I love having this recipe as a side dish or incorporating it into a salad.
