Coliflor entera asada al ajillo y pimentón ahumado

Ingredientes

• 1 head of cauliflower
• 3 cloves garlic (crushed)
• 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper
• Pomegranate
• Cilantro
• Roasted potatoes
• Vegetables

Preparación

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400°F/ 200°C.

2. 2

   Prepare the cauliflower by removing the leaves. Wash and dry the head of cauliflower, then cut the stalk so the cauliflower sits flat. Score a cross with a sharp knife in the core of the cauliflower, but be careful that you don’t cut off any florets. This is to allow the core to cook more evenly. Set aside.

3. 3

   In a small bowl, stir the minced garlic, smoked paprika, oil and salt and pepper.

4. 4

   Rub or brush the smoked paprika mixture all over the cauliflower, then place it into a cast iron skillet or oven-safe baking dish. Cover with a lid or foil and roast in the oven for 1 hour, or until the cauliflower is soft. Remove the lid or foil and cook for a further 25 minutes or until the outside becomes lightly browned.

5. 5

   If desired, to serve, add roasted potatoes and vegetables around the cauliflower in the pan. Serve carved into slices.
