Method:
- Preheat oven to 200°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Place a large steamer basket over a pot of boiling water.
- Rinse cauliflower under cold water to remove any dust and dirt, leaving the outer leaves in tact. Using a sharp knife cut a cross in the base of the stem to allow for even cooking.
- Place cauliflower in a large steamer basket over boiling water and season with 1 teaspoon of sea salt. Steam for 20 minutes or until the cauliflower is almost tender, but not soft.
- Using a whisk, combine yoghurt, lemon juice, dijon mustard, honey, lemon myrtle, mountain pepper leaf and 1 teaspoon of sea salt in a medium sized bowl. Set aside until cauliflower is ready to go in the oven.
- Remove cauliflower from steamer basket and place on lined baking tray. Rub 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the cauliflower and outer leaves. Spoon yoghurt dressing over cauliflower and place in pre-heated oven for approximately 40 minutes or until golden but not burnt.
- Remove cauliflower from oven, drizzle with remaining olive oil and season with coarsely ground Mountain Pepperberry. Serve with your favourite roast meat and vegetables or with a large bowl of dressed and tossed garden salad.
