Whole Roasted Cauliflower – Spicily Delicious Side Or Main

September 29, 2018

This article was written for Annabel & Grace, which is now part of Rest Less.

I was introduced to this Hemsley & Hemsley recipe by my very good friend Bumble when she invited Husband and I to supper. It was one of those balmy summer evenings and so we all gathered in her garden around a beautifully decorated table and ate gorgeous things. One of those gorgeous things was this Whole Roasted Cauliflower. It was spicy and delicious and a really interesting texture.
