Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 5, 190°C, fan 170°C. Remove any thick-stemmed or damaged leaves from the cauliflower. Trim the base, then halve the cauliflower through the stem. Cut each half into 3-4 wedges. Rub with the oil, season and place on a baking tray. Cover with foil and cook for 40-50 mins until the stalks are tender.
- Meanwhile, heat the butter in a small frying pan until melted and foaming. Swirl the pan until the butter turns a little darker and smells nutty. Remove the heat, stir in the safe and season.
- Remove the foil and spoon the safe butter over the florets to baste. Cook for 10-15 mins until the edges start to darken and caramelise, and the stalk is very tender. Transfer to a serving platter and pour over the butter from the tray.
