Break ¼ of the cauliflower into very small florets, rinse in cold water, shake off any excess and add to a bowl. Sprinkle with the turmeric and mix well. Place on the baking sheet and roast for 10-15 minutes until the edges are starting to char, then set aside.
Meanwhile, add 2 tsp oil to a pan and add the onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened, but not browned. Add the leeks and the rest of the cauliflower and cook a further 3-4 minutes, stirring regularly.
Add the cumin, garlic, pepper and stock and bring to the boil. Turn down the heat, cover, and simmer gently for 8-10 minutes until the cauliflower is cooked.
Add the butter beans and blend gradually, adding the milk until smooth. Bring up to heat then divide between 4 bowls and top with the roast cauliflower and a good grind of black pepper.
