That's pretty much what I said, eh? Add the cauliflower last.
I baked (roasted?) a whole head of caulflower in the oven once. I have
no idea where I got the notion. I trimmed the leaves, patted the entire
head of cauliflower with some buttered seasoned breadcrumbs. I do
believe there was some freshly grated Parmesan cheese in there. Put it
in an oven safe baking dish with about 1 inch water. Baked it at 350F
for about an hour, until fork tender. OMG, it was delicious!
