    We loved this. The chili butter is amazing.

    Delicious, but the onions and sauce became quite black. There was not really anything I could "baste" with when the time came. I will definitely make it again, but will make sure the pan is in the center of the oven and cook for less time.

    I made this with a frozen cauliflower florets mix and was able to cut the cook time down to 20 mins at 400F (convection). Really makes cauliflower exciting to eat.

    Sooo good! The cauliflower cooked faster than the recipe suggested — maybe I parboiled it a little too long? The sauce is outstanding. I served the dish with salmon cakes that had an Asian flavor profile with a spicy dipping sauce and somehow everything worked together.

    It's true--this is delicious, and you should follow the advice in the recipe to make extra chile butter so you can put it on everything.

    Delicious! The Chile Butter is incredible!!

  • bernalgirl on January 17, 2021

    An outstanding recipe, the chile butter is excellent and the cooking method yields perfectly caramelized cauliflower. I’ve also prepared the cauliflower in fat pieces to speed cooking time, which was perfect for weeknight dinner.

    One person said this is insanely delicious and one idea is to serve it in tacos with scrambled eggs and avocado

    I cooked as instructed and everything burnt in 20 minutes before the last timer went off. It was ruined. Watch carefully. The sauce was good - spicy and flavorful.

    Exceptional dish!

    Sooo good. Uses a generous amount of butter and oil but it's very worth it. I haven't bought the book yet (the recipe was featured in Delicious magazine) but I'm almost definitely going to now. After reading the review below I served it with Ottolenghi's tomato salad with lime and cardamom yogurt plus some salad leaves and the combination was dynamite. So thanks a lot to Gez1809 for the tip!

    Agreed with previous review - really delicious. I didn't use the extra chillies in the roasting tray as I was worried it would become too hot. I was a bit concerned about the amount of harissa and chilli powders as I'm ok with heat but don't like it really hot but actually it was really well balanced and not that hot. More of a gentle background hum of chilli than a really spicy sauce. And I must say that the onions roasting in that garlicky spicy butter were possibly even nicer than the cauliflower. They were a thing of absolute beauty. I paired it with the tomato with yoghurt and cardamom from the book and they seemed to go really well together - a nice contrast of temperature and cooling yoghurt. Would highly recommend.

    This was crazy good! The chilli, butter and garlic bath is so luscious and smells amazing from the minute it goes in the oven. The result was delicious and while we had it as a side, it could stand alone as a meal in a vegi banquet. It could easily be adapted to smaller pieces of cauliflower and skip the blanching step, just dont skip the leaves, they are so delicious.
