Roasted cauliflower with anchovy butterIt’s a super-simple dish to prepare - You want to roast the cauliflower until it’s has a deep golden brown colour and a knife meets just a little resistance when you insert it into the centre. If the cauliflower is browning too quickly before it reaches peak tenderness, cover it loosely with a piece of foil. 
10 minutes prep. 
1.5 hours cooking

- Finely grated rind of 1 lemon, plus wedges to serve
- ½ tsp dried red chilli flakes
Method
- Preheat an oven to 190˚c.

- Begin to roast the cauliflower, drizzling occasionally with a little extra oil and cook for 1-1½ hours or until golden brown and the cauliflower is very tender when the centre is pierced with a sharp knife.
