2. To make the base, heat the oil and butter in the same pan. Add the onion and herbs and cook until soft and translucent. Add the garlic and cook until slightly browned.
3. Reduce the heat, then add the carrots and cook for 5–10 minutes, tossing frequently.
4. Add the cauliflower and cook for 5 minutes, adding a little water to deglaze the
