Cauliflower, such a versatile and popular vegetable. We’ve had cauliflower rice, cauliflower pizza…. But cauliflower has now never tasted so good! This cauliflower soufflé is the perfect side dish to accompany any family favourite, such as a slow cooked lamb shanks, roast with vegetables or a hearty casserole.

Feel free to cook either in a large soufflé dish (or use a casserole dish) and spoon out on to plates to serve. Alternatively, you can bake in small individual ramekins to make for an impressively presented side dish.
