Whole Roasted Cauliflower With Red Wine Shallots Wheatberries Recipes

WHOLE ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH RED WINE, SHALLOTS & WHEATBERRIES

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.
