Ingredients

  • 8 baby cauliflowers (800g), or 1 large cut into thick wedges, trimmed
  • 50ml olive oil
  • 1 head garlic, trimmed and halved
  • 250ml chicken stock
  • 2tbsp tomato paste
  • 1tsp smoked paprika
  • pinch of saffron threads
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme
  • Greek yoghurt plus a few coriander leaves, to serve

Method

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/ Gas 4. Blanch the cauliflower in a large pan of lightly salted boiling water for 2 minutes. Drain well and place in a casserole dish.

Place the remaining ingredients in a saucepan, seasoning with salt and pepper, and bring to the boil. Pour over the cauliflower and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Roast for 40 minutes, turning over halfway through, until the cauliflower is tender and the juices have thickened. Serve drizzled with some Greek yoghurt and a scattering of coriander.
