Recipe: Mediterranean Roasted Cauliflower

By Chris R. 


We rarely go out on New Year’s Eve, preferring to remain at home to watch over the animals should there be fireworks or any other disturbance which may cause a bush fire. This gave us a great opportunity to make a tasty vegan meal for some of our visiting volunteers. We trialed a Mediterranean roasted cauliflower.  It was served with vegan sausages and salads – delicious, light and easy for a hot summers night!
