Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a pan over a medium-high heat. Add the garlic and chilli and cook for 1-2 minutes, until golden. Add the tomatoes, season, and cook for 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  2. Transfer the tomato mixture to a large roasting tin or oven dish. Top with the cauliflower and brush with the remaining oil; season well. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.
  3. Meanwhile, put the bread in a food processor and whizz to fine crumbs. Combine the breadcrumbs, cheese and parsley in a small bowl; season.
  4. Remove the foil from the roasting tin and scatter the breadcrumb mixture over the cauliflower. Return to the oven for a further 15 minutes, or until golden.
