Serves 4
Takes 1 hr
Cost per serve 87p
1 large head of cauliflower (about
800g)
olive oil
4 garlic cloves
1 bunch spring onions
12 green olives (stone in)
2 x 400g tins quality plum tomatoes
50g whole almonds
10g fresh parsley
1 lemon
extra virgin olive oil
couscous or crusty bread, to serve
(optional)
1 Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C,
fan 180°C. Click off and discard any
tatty cauliflower leaves, then cut the
cauliflower into quarters and place
everything in a deep baking tray. Rub
all over with 1 tbsp olive oil and a
pinch of sea salt and black pepper,
then roast for 15 mins.
2 Meanwhile, place a large, casserole
pan on a medium heat with 1 tbsp
olive oil. Peel and finely chop the
garlic, and finely chop the white
parts of the spring onions, reserving
the greens for later, then add to the
pan and cook for 2 mins.
3 Destone the olives and add to
the pan with the tomatoes and
½ a tin’s worth of water, breaking
them up with a wooden spoon, then
season. Remove the cauliflower
from the oven and pour the sauce
around it, then bake for a further
25 mins, or until the sauce has

thickened and the cauliflower
is tender.
4 Meanwhile, bash the almonds
using a pestle and mortar (or finely
chop), and set aside. Now make a
gremolata. Finely chop the parsley
(stalks and all) and the greens of the
spring onions, then place in a small
bowl. Finely grate in the lemon zest,
squeeze in the lemon juice, stir
through 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
and season to taste.
5 Spoon the gremolata over the
cauliflower and scatter the smashed
almonds over the top. Delicious with
fluffy couscous or crusty bread.
