Method

  • 1.
    Preheat oven to 200°C. Grease a baking tray and line with baking paper.
  • 2.
    For the lemon oil, heat zest and oil in a small saucepan over high heat and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and infuse for 10 minutes. Discard zest and set oil aside.
  • 3.
    Rub cauliflower with 150g butter and sprinkle with 1 tsp salt flakes and a pinch of ground black pepper. Transfer to prepared tray and roast in the middle of the oven for 20 minutes. Reduce oven to 150°C and roast for a further 30-40 minutes or until golden and just tender.
  • 4.
    For the goat’s cheese cream, combine goat’s cheese, creme fraiche and a pinch of salt flakes in a bowl and set aside.
  • 5.
    Heat a barbecue grill or chargrill pan to medium-high heat. Spread remaining 50g butter on faces of burger buns and grill, butter-side down, for 1-2 minutes or until grill marks appear.
  • 6.
    Cut roasted cauliflower into 1cm-thick slices and place 2 slices on each bun base. Spread with a little of the goat’s cheese cream, sprinkle over some crushed pink peppercorns and top with a little watercress. Drizzle with lemon oil and top with grated lemon zest. Top with bun lids and serve.
