This Mediterranean Skillet leans on garlic and chilli to do the heavy lifting. We crisp the Cauliflower for real depth, then bring it together in one pan.
Free to cook
Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the garlic and chilli elements, and pat the cauliflower dry so it colours well.
Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the cauliflower and crisp until it takes on colour and the edges catch, 4 to 6 minutes.
Stir in the lemon and the rest of the garlic and chilli flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.
Add the fennel along with a splash of stock or water, then cook briskly until everything is tender and the sauce clings.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper and a little acid. It should taste bright, savoury and balanced.
Finish with the chopped basil and serve while hot.
Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
