Method:

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a baking sheet with baking
paper.

1. Onions Heat the butter and oil in a pan and fry the onions
over low heat until soft and translucent. Add the garlic and herbs and stir-fry
until caramelised. Season with salt.

2. Pie Lightly roll out the pastry on a lightly floured
surface. Spread the mustard on the pastry, followed by the onion mixture.
Season with salt and freshly ground pepper.

3. Remove the hard stem from the cauliflower without breaking
up the cauliflower head. Rinse well, pat dry and sprinkle the flour over.

4. Put the cauliflower, floret side down, on the pastry. Wrap
the cauliflower in the pastry and pinch the edges to seal. Put the pie, seam
side down, on the prepared baking sheet.

5. Brush the eggwash over the pie and sprinkle the sesame
seeds on top (if using). Bake for 40-45 minute or until the cauliflower is
soft.

6. Herb sauce Put the herbs, oil, lemon juice, zest and
mayonnaise or yoghurt in a food processor and process until smooth. Season with
salt and pepper and serve with the pie.
