Halloween Incinerated Brains recipe

One of the easiest items to make this Halloween for vegetarians is this Incinerated cauliflower brain. This first started its life as a model for a Hellraiser brain where I stuck raw spaghetti into it once cooked. Mr NQN didn't think that it looked at all Hellraiser like so it simply became an incinerated brain. Oh and the peri peri seasoning gives this one a lovely, spicy kick!

Incinerated Brain

An Original Recipe by Lorraine Elliott

Prep time: 5 minutes

Cooking time: 1 hour

Level of difficulty: Easy

• 1 whole cauliflower

• 2-3 tablespoons natural yogurt (depending on size of cauliflower)

• 2-3 tablespoons peri peri seasoning mix (I used one from Le Spice)

Step 1 - Preheat oven to 190c/375F and wash the cauliflower and remove the leaves and stem. Place it stem down on a baking tray lined with parchment. Mix the yogurt and seasoning together to form a paste and paint the paste on the outside of the cauliflower.

Step 2 - Bake in the oven for 1 hour or thereabouts (depending on the size of your cauliflower). When cooked, remove from oven and score a line down the centre so that it looks like two brain halves. Serve with a knife so people can cut into it.
