  2. Spoon cauliflower into a sieve lined with muslin (or a thin tea towel). Set sieve over a bowl or large jug. Gather sides of muslin together and twist tightly to remove as much liquid as possible. Discard liquid.

  5. Combine sliced almonds, lemon rind, parmesan and remaining thyme in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle mixture over cauliflower. Bake for a further 5 to 6 minutes or until golden brown and edges are crispy. Stand for 10 minutes. Cut into 8 slices. Serve.
