Recipe of the week – Cheat’s Cauliflower Cheese with Asparagus

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 220C/200C fan
2. Remove the leaves from the cauliflower before cutting out the base
3. Cut the cauliflower in half, and then cut each half into 2, so you are left with 4 slices that are approximately 2cm thick
4. Combine the olive oil with the minced garlic and brush on each cauliflower before seasoning with freshly ground black pepper
5. Put the cauliflower onto a baking tray and cover with foil before putting in the oven to roast for 12 minutes
6. Take out of the oven and remove the foil before turning the heat down to 200C/180C fan and cooking for a further 8 minutes
7. Meanwhile, heat a griddle pan to a high heat and cook through the asparagus spears with a little olive oil and black pepper
8. Remove the cauliflower for the second time. Turn each piece over before topping each one with 2 slices of prosciutto, 1 tbsp crème fraiche and ¼ of the gruyere cheese
9. Return to the oven for approximately 8 minutes, or until the cauliflower is completely tender and the cheese has melted
10. For the last few minutes, add the spinach leaves to the pan with the asparagus and saute down until wilted
11. Serve the cauliflower straight away with the asparagus and spinach
