What you need:

• ½ cup of garlic yoghurt 
• 2 tablespoons of dried cranberries, chopped – or – pomegranate 
• ¼ cup of mint leaves 

How to make:

• Preheat the oven to 180C.
• Cut just enough off the base of the cauliflower so that it fits inside your Biroix Dutch Oven with the lid on. 
• Mix the Moroccan seasoning with olive oil and spread all over the cauliflower. You can use your hands to get into the crevices (if your Moroccan seasoning doesn’t have salt, then add salt).  
• Place whole cauliflower inside the Biroix Dutch Oven and put the lid on. 
• Cook for 45 minutes and then take the lid off and cook for a further 25 minutes, or until cooked through and soft (time will depend on how large your cauliflower is).
• Garnish with garlic yoghurt drizzled over the top, mint and pomegranates scattered over.
• You can keep the cauliflower inside your Biroix Dutch Oven to serve.
