FOR THE VIOLIFE SAUCE:
- 1 pack Violife Epic Smoked Cheddar Flavour block, grated
- 1 pack Violife Just Like Cheddar Shreds
- 7 oz white wine
- black pepper
- Preheat the oven to 356°F. In a blender mix together garlic, paprika, cumin and half of the thyme leaves. Add olive oil, salt and pepper and mix until a paste is formed.
- Cut the bottom of the cauliflower so that it can sit flat and place in a ceramic casserole dish. Use your hands to rub the paprika mixture all over the cauliflower. Add the lemon juice and vinegar and place in the oven, cover with a lid and bake for 90 minutes.
- Remove the dish from the oven, pour in the tomatoes, sprinkle over the lemon zest, drizzle with the tahini and the remaining thyme leaves. Bake for a further 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile make the Violife sauce by pouring the wine in a small saucepan alongside the grated Epic Smoked block and the Just Like Cheddar shreds. Season with black pepper. Use a whisk to combine until melted.
- When a fondue forms, pour over the cauliflower. Garnish with parsley and pumpkin seeds and slice into cauliflower steaks to serve.
