Ingredients

  • 2 x 400 g cans Italian whole peeled tomatoes
  • 3–4 large cloves garlic, smashed
  • 8 T olive oil
  • chilli flakes, a pinch
  • 4 whole small cauliflowers (about 1 kg), halved if larger
  • 4 t ground cumin
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • ¾–1 cup water or vegetable stock
  • coriander, to garnish
  • For the coriander pesto, blend:
  • 25 g coriander leaves
  • 2 T olive oil
  • a good pinch ground cumin
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • sea salt, to taste
  • chilli flakes, to taste

Cooking Instructions

Preheat the oven to 220°C. Place the tomatoes and their juices, garlic, 4 T olive oil and chilli flakes into a large, deep, oiled baking tray. Top with the cauliflower.

Mix the cumin with the remaining olive oil and season to taste. Spoon over the cauliflower.

Bake for 20 minutes, then pour in ½ cup water or stock and stir the tomatoes around. Use to baste the cauliflower. Roast for a further 20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is bronzed and just tender.

Roughly mash the tomatoes and garlic in the pan, adding a little more water or stock if necessary. Check the seasoning. Serve the rough sauce with the cauliflower and coriander pesto, garnished with coriander.
