Method
-
step 1
Heat the oven to 220c/fan 200c/gas 7. Spread the cauliflower out in a shallow baking dish. Pour over 1 tbsp olive oil, season and roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring once.
-
step 2
Drop the kohlrabi wedges into boiling water and blanch for 3 minutes. Remove, run under cold water and drain. Toss in a little lemon juice. Arrange all the vegetables on a platter or board, leaving space for the bread and sauce.
-
step 3
Tip out the oil from the anchovies into a jug and top up with olive oil to make 150ml. Heat the butter and oil together in a saucepan. Add the garlic and anchovies and cook over a low heat for 5 minutes. When the anchovies have all melted and the garlic is very soft, slowly whisk in the double cream to make a sauce and keep warm.

step 4
Season with black pepper. Meanwhile, toast the sourdough, cut it into chunky soldiers and add them to the platter. Transfer the warm sauce to a serving dish, put it on platter and serve straight away.
