Instructions

Preheat your oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas mark 6.

Remove the filo pastry from the fridge and its packet to bring it to room temperature (see ingredients for amount). Lay it flat on the counter, covered with a damp tea towel.

Cut the cauliflower into florets (like small trees), halving any large ones.

Pop the cauliflower onto a baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread them out in a single layer.

When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden brown and tender, 15-20 mins. Turn halfway through.

Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Grate the Cheddar cheese.

Melt the butter (see pantry for amount) in a large saucepan on medium-high heat. Once hot, stir in the garlic and curry powder. Fry until fragrant, 1 min.

Stir in the flour (see pantry for amount). Cook until it forms a paste, 1-2 mins - you've made a roux!

Stir the water for the sauce (see pantry for amount) into the roux a little at a time, followed by the vegetable stock paste. Bring to the boil, stir continuously and simmer until thickened, 1-2 mins.

Mix in the creme fraiche and cheese until melted, then remove from the heat.

Once roasted, stir the cooked cauliflower into the sauce. Add a splash of water if it's a little too thick. Season with salt and pepper.

Meanwhile, halve the filo pastry sheets to make squares.

Spoon the cheesy cauliflower mixture into an appropriate sized ovenproof dish.

Scrunch each filo pastry sheet into a very loose ball and place on top of the pie. Repeat until the whole pie is covered, making sure not to overcrowd the pastry (discard any excess pastry).
