The summer is emerging at last, and you fancy trying a starter with strong, inviting flavours, before serving a delicious dinner to guests salivating with anticipation? Well, start your party by offering an amazing cauliflower pie, flavoured with the perfect ingredients to whet your appetite, such as delicious dried fruit, or some irresistible cheese - the recipe allows you to add as much as you like of the latter for that extra touch of flavour.

Begin preparing the shortcrust pastry working the flour with the butter, water and salt quickly. Form a ball and set aside. Boil the cauliflower, drain and place in a colander. Put the raisins soak in warm water. Divide the dough into two parts and roll out into two circles. Add the cauliflower florets, then the drained raisins and chopped walnuts to the first circle. Then arrange the slices of parmesan over the top. Cover with the second circle of dough and bake for 35-40 minutes at 180°C.
