Steps:
- Position an oven rack in the bottom of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
- Remove the leaves from the cauliflower, then trim the stem flush with the bottom of the head so the cauliflower sits flat on the prepared baking sheet. Rub the outside of each head with the cut garlic.
- Whisk together the oil, 3 tablespoons mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a small bowl.
- Put the cauliflower on the prepared baking sheet and brush the entire outside and inside with the mustard-oil mixture. Roast the cauliflower until nicely charred and tender (a long skewer inserted in the center of the cauliflower should pass through easily), 50 minutes to 1 hour. Let rest for a few minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the parsley and Parmesan in a small bowl. Brush the outside of the roasted cauliflower heads all over with the remaining 1 tablespoon mustard and generously sprinkle with the Parmesan mixture.
- Cut the cauliflower into thick wedges and serve on plates with a sprinkle of salt, lemon wedges and any extra Parmesan mixture.

Steps:
- Using fork, blend butter, mustard and lemon peel in small bowl. Mix in cup chives. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook cauliflower in large pot of boiling salted water 2 minutes. Add broccoli and cook until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 3 minutes longer. Drain. Transfer vegetables to bowl of ice water. Drain. (Butter mixture and vegetables can be made 1 day ahead. Cover separately and chill.)
- Combine butter mixture and vegetables in large pot. Toss gently over medium heat until vegetables are heated through and coated with butter mixture, about 5 minutes. Transfer to bowl. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon chives.
Tips:
- Choose the right cauliflower: For the best results, select a head of cauliflower that is tightly packed with florets and has a bright white color. Avoid heads of cauliflower that have any signs of bruising or wilting.
- Cut the cauliflower into even-sized florets: This will help them cook evenly. You can use a sharp knife or a food processor to cut the cauliflower into florets.
- Steam the cauliflower until tender: Steaming is a gentle cooking method that will help preserve the cauliflower's nutrients and flavor. You can steam the cauliflower in a steamer basket over boiling water or in a microwave oven.
- Make the mustard-lemon butter sauce while the cauliflower is steaming: This will save you time and ensure that the sauce is ready when the cauliflower is done cooking.
- Serve the cauliflower immediately: Cauliflower is best served hot, so don't let it sit around for too long before serving.
Conclusion:
This simple yet elegant dish is a perfect side dish for any occasion. The cauliflower is tender and flavorful, and the mustard-lemon butter sauce is tangy and delicious. With its vibrant color and unique flavor, this dish is sure to impress your guests.
