6. After 30 minutes, add the cauliflower leaves to the baking tray too and cook for the remaining time. 
7. While the kohlrabi and cauliflower are roasting, place the tofu into a blender. Add garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt & pepper and blitz until smooth.
8. Toast the almonds in a hot dry pan until golden.
9. To assemble: Use a spoon to spread the whipped tofu onto the bottom of a medium-large serving plate. Layer the cauliflower florets, kohlrabi and cauliflower leaves on top. Garnish with toasted almonds and a drizzle of maple syrup.

CAULIFLOWER STORAGE:

• Got more cauliflower plans cooking this week? Then store in the fridge:  Dampen a piece of clean cloth or towel and wrap around the cauliflower loosely. Store in the crisper drawer. 

• Want to keep it up your sleeve for later? Then freeze it:

1. Bring a large pot of water to the boil. Once it has reached boiling, add the cauliflower florets and cook for 2 minutes.
2. After 2 minutes, drain the cauliflower and place florets into a bowl full of ice-cold water. Once cooled, drain the cauliflower again and pat dry.  
3. Place the cauliflower in a single layer on a lined tray and put in the freezer to freeze (this will prevent the florets from sticking together during freezing).
4. Once frozen remove from the tray and transfer into an airtight container. Use within 6 months.
