Notes

Most of the preparation with this recipe relates to heating your BBQ, if you par-boil the cauliflower and mix together the remaining ingredients while you are waiting it makes this a low effort and time efficient recipe. You can use an oven to cook this, but you won’t get that nice smokiness.
