Roasted cauliflower two ways

A whole head of cauliflower, beautifully roasted with herbs and spices, tender on the inside and crisp on the outside - a gorgeous and delicious way to serve cauliflower. This very easy to make and budget friendly dish is sure to please every palate. Impress all your vegetarian friends at the next BBQ party with this show stopper.
Personally I think the cauliflower will taste great with just salt, pepper and olive oil. But you can use your favorite ingredients to flavor this dish. Its like a blank slate, marinate with anything you like - tandoori marinade is just delicious, pesto would be wonderful, Za'atar seasoning will be out of this world.
Here I have chosen 2 different flavors. The red head is flavored with tandoori marinade and the blonde one with a mixture of cheese and hung yogurt (see procedure below). Both turn out delicious. Serve with a bean salad or as is.
To roast you can try one of two different procedures. Roast in the oven, tightly covered with foil to allow steam to cook the vegetable for about an hour or so and then broil to brown. If you are short of time then first soften the cauliflower in the microwave. This reduces the oven time considerably. Both turn out great.
How to make hung yogurt
Place a sieve lined with cheese cloth over a bowl. Put 2 cups of plain yogurt (yields 1 1/2 cups of hung yogurt) on the cheese cloth, cover and place in the refrigerator overnight (minimum 4-5 hours). All the water from the yogurt will filter out into the bowl leaving a thick creamy hung yogurt perfect for marinade or to use as a substitute for cream in any dish.

Whole roasted cauliflower
Ingredients:
2 whole cauliflowers
Marinade (see recipes below for both types of marinade)
Fresh lime juice and fresh coriander for garnish

1. Take a medium head of cauliflower and cut the stem near the base so it sits nicely. Wash and clean and drain well.
2. Procedure 1 - place the cauliflower head in a ziplock bag and microwave on high for 3-4 minutes. Remove and cool completely. Preheat the oven to 375 F. Apply the marinade liberally in all the nooks and crannies of the cauliflower (I use my hand to do this). Bake covered for 15-20 minutes till cooked through. Broil for the last 7-10 minutes to brown the top. 
3. Procedure 2 - Preheat the oven to 375 F. Apply the marinade liberally in all the nooks and crannies of the cauliflower (I use my hand to do this). Bake covered for about an hour till cooked through. Broil for the last 7-10 minutes to brown the top. 
4. Sprinkle some fresh lime juice all over the head and garnish with finely chopped fresh coriander.
