Smoky Cauliflower – Smoky Roast Cauliflower on Creamy Cauliflower Garlic mash

May 15, 2018 / Niki / 6 Comments

This recipe is truely celebrating the cauliflower and testament to its versatility. I think it’s one of the most versatile vegetables in fact. Can you remember  the days when the height of cauliflower cuisine was cauliflower cheese?
I do already have quite a few dishes containing my beloved vegetable here but one more won’t hurt right? What I love about this dish is that it proves that you can make a whole and absolutely delicious meal out of one head of cauliflower.

So here it is, smoky roast cauliflower steaks on a bed of super creamy cauliflower and smoked garlic mash – this is my kind of lunch! And you have to scoop up its creamy deliciousness with some flatbread of course?

Here’s some of my favourite cauliflower dishes!

– Purple Sprouting Broccoli & Cauliflower Cheese Tart

– Sweet Potato, Cauliflower and Peanut Stew

– Roast Purple Sweet Potato & Cauliflower Soup

– Crispy Coconut Cauliflower with Minty Peas & Pita

I'd love to know if you made this recipe.

    I can’t celebrate cauliflower enough! I have always wanted to try roasting a whole cauliflower in a bunch of delicious spices. I have to try your cauliflower garlic mash as well as your sweet potato cauliflower curry. Both look so so heavenly!
