Baked Whole Cauliflower

If you haven't tried baking a whole cauliflower you simply must - it has become our new dinner staple especially with organic cauliflower in season - YUM! Cauliflower is high in vitamin K & C and part of the cruciferous family, which contain anti-cancer compounds.

Ingredients:

Whole head of cauliflower

1/4 cup of olive oil

2 T dijon mustard

2 T apple cider vinegar

1 T dried oregano

crushed garlic

1 t salt

Method:

Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Cut cauliflower stem flush with the rest of the head so it will sit straight, then place in a dutch oven/cast iron pot with lid. Combine rest of ingredients in a bowl and mix well with a fork. Pour sauce over the cauliflower and rub all over the cauliflower with your fingers until it is completely covered. Put lid on and pop into oven for about 35 minutes or until tender. Take lid off and place under the grill for about 5 minutes until golden brown. Carefully transfer cauliflower to a serving plate and garnish with chopped parsley and a dribble of olive oil
