  1. Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C.
  2. Lay the cauliflower and the leaves in a large roasting tin, drizzle with 1 tbsp of the oil and season with salt and black pepper. Roast for 15 mins.
  3. While the cauliflower is cooking, heat the rest of the oil in a large frying pan and cook the onion and garlic for 5 mins or until beginning to soften. Stir in the frozen peppers and tinned tomatoes, season and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 mins.

  6. Return to the oven and bake for 10-15 mins, or until the cheese is golden and bubbling.
