Method
- Heat the oven to 160°C fan/gas 4. First, make the satay marinade. Put the garlic, ginger, onion and salt in a food processor and whizz to a coarse paste. Add the rest of the ingredients for the marinade and whizz until smooth.
- Make sure the cauliflower can sit flat on its stalk, then place it in a large, deep casserole. Pour the satay marinade over the cauliflower and cover the dish with the lid or foil. Put in the oven and bake for 1 hour, basting it regularly during the cooking. Halfway through cooking, add 100ml water to ensure it doesn’t dry out.
- Once baked, the cauliflower should be soft. Check it by piercing it with a knife – there should be no resistance. If the cauliflower isn’t quite ready, pop it back in the oven for 10 minutes and check again.
- To finish the cauliflower, sprinkle it with the chopped toasted peanuts and coriander and serve it from the casserole (or transfer it to a serving plate if you prefer, sprinkling it with the peanuts and coriander once it’s on the plate).
