Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Sit the cauliflower head upside down on a chopping board and cut the tough stem away. Leave some of the base so that the cauliflower remains intact.
- Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole dish on a low-medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and, once they begin to 'pop', add the shallots. Fry gently for 4-5 mins until starting to caramelise, then add the mushrooms, thyme and garlic, and cook for a further 4-5 mins, stirring every so often. Pour in the wine and reduce by half. Stir in the spinach and allow the leaves to wilt.
- Next, add the wheatberries, season well and combine. Make a well in the centre and put the cauliflower in the middle. Pour the stock around - not over - the caulifower, then season.
- Cover and transfer to the oven. Cook for 50 mins-1 hr until the cauliflower and wheatberries are tender. Remove from the oven and sprinkle the hazelnuts, peppercorns and Parmesan over the cauliflower. Return to the oven for a further 5 mins, then serve.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH ANCHOVY, CAPERS, AND FRESH THYME
Steps:
- Roast the cauliflower: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Remove the green leaves from the cauliflower and reserve. Cut the cauliflower heads in half, then into bite-size florets. Cut the stalks into bite-size pieces also. Place the florets and stalk pieces in a roasting pan, and drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast until golden and tender, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a platter lined with paper towels to drain.
- Make the garlic chips: Pour 1/4 inch of oil into a small saucepan. Add the garlic and set the pan over medium heat. Heat the oil until the chips are golden and crisp, about 1 minute. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
- Make the anchovy sauce: Set a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and fry the anchovies, garlic, capers, and thyme, stirring with a wooden spoon to break up the anchovies and infuse the oil. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until fragrant. Add the cream and Parmesan, and bring to a simmer. Just before serving, add the roasted cauliflower pieces and fold in the reserved leaves. Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice, and top with the fried garlic chips, cracked black pepper, and shaved Parmesan.
FRENCH ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH THYME
I just love roasted cauliflower! It changes it from a ho-hum vegetable into a awesomely delicious one! Adapted this recipe from Rebecca Franklin from Your Guide to French Food. My sister says it tastes even better with a little lemon juice squeezed over when done.

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 400°F.
- Mix cauliflower, onions, and garlic together in a large roasting pan.
- Drizzle the vegetables with the oil, season them with the pepper and thyme, and toss gently to coat.
- Roast the vegetables uncovered for 20-35 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden brown. If you like, squeeze a little lemon juice over when serving. The smaller you chop the cauliflower, the less time it takes to bake. I love the crunchy brown bits, that's why I chop it all up so small! Enjoy!

ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH SHALLOTS AND FRESH GARDEN THYME
This recipe has such an amazing flavour. I browned the sprouts in my huge stainless steel skillet and that made them taste almost nutty. I didn't want to heat up my kitchen, so fired up the bbq. and kept it on low. You can also put these in the oven if you don't want to be adventureous with the bbq. You will have to test the sprouts to make sure they don't get mushy. I took mine off when they were just fork tender and let them sit in the house on my stove top with the lid on the skillet and they finished cooking on their own. You might also want to add a dolop of sour cream on these, or a slash of balsamic vinegar just before you serve them.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 350'F. Or, use your bbq. Either will work.
- In a large oven/bbq. proof skillet warm your olive oil over medium heat.
- Clean your brussels sprouts and prepare your shallots. I cut the ends off the sprouts and removed the papery coating from the shallots. Cut the shallots into large pieces.
- Put the brussels sprouts into the warmed oil and saute until you get dark spots on the outer part of the sprouts. Should take about 6 mintues.
- Add the chopped shallots and cook for about 2 more minutes until the shallots have the same dark markings on them as the sprouts.
- Add in the broth. In any case, the broth should reach 1/2 way up the side of the vegetables. So judge accordingly.
- Stir in the thyme, salt and pepper. I picked my thyme out of the garden just before I added it, that gave it an amazing flavour.
- Bring the broth up to a good simmer and transfer it to the oven or bbq. It should take about 20 minutes to cook the sprouts until they are fork tender.
- Remove from the oven/bbq. after done and put the lid on and let the pot sit. The sprouts will cook a little more. If you don't want to cover them, just let them sit for a few minutes.
- Transfer to a nice dish and serve with the sour cream or balsamic vinegar if using.
- Bon Appetit.

Tips:
- Choose the right cauliflower. Look for a head of cauliflower that is dense and heavy, with tightly packed florets. Avoid heads with brown spots or bruises.
- Trim the cauliflower. Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower, then cut the head into florets. You can cut the florets into any size you like, but smaller florets will cook more evenly.
- Roast the cauliflower at a high temperature. This will help to caramelize the florets and give them a slightly crispy texture. Aim for a temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).
- Add some flavor to the cauliflower. You can add any spices or herbs that you like to the cauliflower before roasting. Some popular choices include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, and rosemary.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. When roasting the cauliflower, make sure to spread the florets out in a single layer on the pan. This will help them to cook evenly.
- Roast the cauliflower until it is tender. The cauliflower is done roasting when it is tender when pierced with a fork. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
Conclusion:
Roasted cauliflower is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or main course. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it is also a good source of fiber and vitamins. By following these tips, you can make sure that your roasted cauliflower turns out perfectly every time.
