Ingredients
  

For the Cauliflower Steak:
  • 1 large head cauliflower sliced lengthwise through the core into 4 'steaks'
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • to taste sea salt
For the Romesco Sauce:
  • 1/4 cup slivered almonds
  • 1/2 large tomato chopped
  • 1/2 cup roasted red peppers thinly sliced, packed
  • 1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice for Romesco sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt for Romesco sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • to taste sliced parsley for garnish

Equipment

  • Grill or grill pan
  • Blender or food processor
  • Cutting board and knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Serving platter

Method
 

Preparation Steps:
  1. Start by removing the leaves from the cauliflower head and cutting it into four thick slices. Aim for about 1 to 1.5 inches thick to ensure they hold together on the grill.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and a pinch of sea salt. Brush this mixture over both sides of each cauliflower steak, allowing them to marinate for about 10-15 minutes.
  3. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the marinated cauliflower steaks on the grill. Grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they have nice grill marks and are tender. Remove from the grill and set aside.
  4. While the cauliflower is grilling, prepare the Romesco sauce. In a blender or food processor, combine the slivered almonds, chopped tomato, roasted red peppers, 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice, minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, and ground cumin. Blend until smooth, adjusting the consistency with a little water if necessary.
  5. Place the grilled cauliflower steaks on a serving platter. Generously spoon the Romesco sauce over each steak. Garnish with sliced parsley for a fresh touch.

Notes

  • Marinate the cauliflower steaks for optimal flavor.
  • Feel free to customize the Romesco sauce with different nuts.
  • Store leftover Romesco sauce in an airtight container for up to a week.
