Ingredients
- large cauliflower, broken into roughly
- 4cm florets (700g)
- 30g unsalted butter
- I small onion, finely diced ( 120g)
- 1½ tsp cumin seeds
- I tsp medium curry powder
- I tsp mustard powder
- 2 green chillies, deseeded and finely
- diced
- ¾ tsp black mustard seeds
- 200ml double cream
- 120g mature Cheddar, coarsely grated
- 15g fresh white breadcrumbs
- 5g parsley, finely chopped
- salt
Steps
- Preheat the oven to 180°C fan.
- Steam the cauliflower over boiling water for 5 minutes, until just softening. Remove and leave aside to cool slightly.
- Put the butter into a 24cm round casserole pan or ovenproof dish of a similar size and place on a medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 8 minutes, until soft and golden. Add the cumin seeds, curry powder, mustard powder and chillies and cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the mustard seeds, cook for another minute, then pour in the cream. Add 100g of Cheddar and ½ teaspoon of salt, and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, for the sauce to slightly thicken. Add the cauliflower, stir gently, and simmer for another minute before removing from the heat.
- Place the remaining 20g of Cheddar in a bowl and add the breadcrumbs and parsley. Mix, then sprinkle over the cauliflower.
- Wipe the top inside edge of the pan clean (with a spatula or cloth) - any cream there will burn - and place in the oven. Bake for 8 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling and the cauliflower is hot.
- Turn the grill to high and keep the pan underneath for 4 minutes, or until the top is golden and crisp. Keep an eye on it so that it does not burn. Remove from the grill and allow to cool a little - just for 5 minutes or so - before serving.
