Charred cauliflower with beer butter sauce
- Preparation and cooking time
- Total time
- Easy
- Serves 4 as a side
Ingredients
- 1 medium whole cauliflower
- 2 tbsp olive oil
BEER BUTTER SAUCE
- 75g unsalted butter
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 100ml wheat beer (such as Blue Moon)
- ½-1 tsp runny honey
Method
- STEP 1
To make the beer butter sauce, put the butter in a small pan and heat until light golden and smelling nutty. Remove from the heat, whisk in the crushed garlic, then pour in the beer. Put back on the heat for 2-3 minutes, whisking continually. Don’t cook for too long, just enough to evaporate the alcohol. Remove from the heat – it will thicken slightly as it cools.
- STEP 2
Heat the grill to high. Break the cauliflower into large florets, cut the stalk into chunks and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces. Transfer to a bowl, and toss with the olive oil and some seasoning until everything is well coated. Tip onto a large, shallow baking tray and grill for 15-25 minutes, tossing halfway through, or until the cauliflower is tender and a little charred.
- STEP 3
Whisk the beer sauce and taste for seasoning. Stir in enough honey to balance the bitterness of the beer and pour over the cauliflower to serve.
