Method
Tomato pesto

Baked cauliflower
- Remove the large outer leaves from the cauliflower and trim the base so that the cauliflower can sit flat.
- Place the cauliflower on a universal tray. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle the spice and salt over the cauliflower.
- Place the tray in the combi steam Pro oven on shelf level 1 (shelf level 2 in a 60 cm oven) and select Combi mode: Fan Plus at 200⁰C + 60% moisture. Cook for 45 minutes, or until soft enough to pierce with a knife.

Hints and tips
- This dish is delicious on its own, or as a side dish with a protein main – we love it with our lamb shoulder with creamy polenta and gremolata recipe.
- When roasting cauliflowers in traditional ovens you will need to boil or steam it briefly before roasting. However, using a combi steam Pro oven, you can combine these two steps at once.
- Dry your own tomatoes to use in this dish using the Drying function in our ovens.
