Creamy Rosemary Cauliflower Bake
This is a delicious twist to a classic cauliflower bake. Here, I infuse warm cream with rosemary and garlic offering a subtle, yet beautiful flavour.

Equipment
Ingredients
- 500 g cauliflower florets
- 300 g double cream
- 1-2 fresh rosemary sprigs
- 2 cloves garlic peeled
- salt and ground white pepper
- 1 TB Parmesan cheese finely grated
- sea salt flakes
- freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan oven). This is 200°C for conventional ovens (or 400°F / gas mark 6).
- Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil while you trim the cauliflower into even-sized florets (this ensures even cooking). Boil the cauliflower until tender, then drain well in a colander and allow to steam off.
- Once steamed off, tip into a suitable-sized oven-proof dish so the cauli lies in an even layer.
- At the same time as the cauliflower is doing its thing, place the cream into a pan and add the rosemary sprigs. Use the back of a knife to bash the garlic cloves, then roughly chop them and add to the pan.
- Place the pan over moderate heat until the cream simmers. Leave to simmer for 3-4 minutes then remove the pan from the heat, leaving the rosemary and garlic to infuse the cream for several more minutes - the longer the better. Season the mixture with salt and ground white pepper.
- Strain the infused, seasoned cream over the cauliflower (discarding the contents of the sieve as they have done their job). Scatter over the Parmesan.
- Bake in the oven for 20 minutes. (I know I say this a lot, but its a handy tip. Whenever I place anything in the oven, I always rotate my tray halfway through cooking. This ensures even cooking because I have found that many ovens have hot / cold spots.)
- Before serving, scatter over salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper. Enjoy!
