Method

Ingredients

1. Preheat the oven to 190°C. Blanch the cauliflower in boiling water for 5 minutes.
2. Sauté the shallots in the butter until soft and golden. Stir in the cumin seeds, curry and mustard powder.
3. Add the mustard seeds and heat for 1 minute. Add the cream, cheese and salt and cook until thickened, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
4. Place the cauliflower on a greased baking tray. Cover with the sauce and top with the breadcrumbs. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the sauce and breadcrumbs are golden.

Cook’s note: Pierce the base of the cauliflower with a knife before blanching. This will help cook the stem right through.
