Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Cut the cauliflower through the middle into 8 wedges, keeping enough of the core so they hold together. Transfer to a baking tray in an even layer.
  2. Mix the paprika, oil and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Pour over the cauliflower, then toss to coat, rubbing it into the nooks. Roast for 30-35 mins until tender and lightly charred. Leave to cool for 5 mins.
  3. Meanwhile, toss together the sliced fennel, most of the radishes, spring onions, parsley, and the Little Gem leaves.
  4. Slowly whisk the vinegar and oil into the mustard until combined. Whisk in the grated garlic and 1 tsp salt, then use to dress the salad.
  5. Transfer the salad to a serving platter; top with the cauliflower and dollops of aïoli. Scatter with the almonds and the reserved radish, spring onions, parsley and dill, if using.
