Curried Whole Cauliflower

Remove leaves from cauliflower and trim the woody core. Place the whole head in a microwave-safe glass bowl large enough to hold it.

Mix mayonnaise and curry paste in a small bowl. Spread the mixture evenly over the cauliflower.

Cover the bowl with a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on High until tender, 6 to 9 minutes. Let stand, covered, for 2 minutes more. To serve, cut into 4 portions or break into bite-size pieces.
