Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large head of cauliflower
1/2 cup pitted oil-packed black olives, finely chopped
3 sun-dried tomatoes, thinly sliced
3 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, divided, plus more
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 garlic cloves
2 plum tomatoes, cored, quartered

Steps:

  • Remove leaves and trim stem end of cauliflower, leaving core intact. Place cauliflower core side down on a work surface. Using a large knife, slice cauliflower into four 1/2" "steaks" from center of cauliflower (some florets will break loose; reserve). Finely chop enough loose florets to measure 1/2 cup. Transfer chopped florets to a small bowl and mix with olives, sun-dried tomatoes, 1 tablespoon oil, parsley, and lemon juice. Season relish with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat oven to 400°. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large heavy ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Working in 2 batches, cook cauliflower steaks until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side, adding tablespoon oil to pan between batches. Transfer steaks to a large rimmed baking sheet. Reserve skillet. Roast cauliflower until tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, return skillet to medium-high heat and add garlic cloves and tomatoes, one cut side down. Cook until tomatoes are browned; turn tomatoes over and transfer skillet to oven with cauliflower. Roast garlic and tomatoes until tender, about 12 minutes.
  • Transfer garlic, tomatoes, and 1/2 tablespoon oil to a blender; purée until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Divide tomato sauce among plates. Place 1 cauliflower steak on each plate; spoon relish over. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Provided by abray6212

Categories     Cauliflower

Time 30m

Yield 4 Steaks, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large cauliflower head
1/2 cup pitted kalamata olive
3 sun-dried tomatoes, thinly sliced
3 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, divided plus more
2 tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
3 garlic cloves
2 plum tomatoes, cored, quartered

Steps:

  • Remove leaves and trim stem end of cauliflower, leaving core intact. Slice cauliflower into four 1/2" "steaks" from center of cauliflower (some florets will break loose; reserve).
  • Finely chop enough loose florets to measure 1/2 cup.
  • Transfer chopped florets to a small bowl and mix with olives, sun-dried tomatoes, 1 tablespoon oil, parsley, and lemon juice. Season relish with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat oven to 400°. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large heavy ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Cook cauliflower steaks until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side, adding tablespoon oil to pan between batches.
  • Transfer steaks to a large rimmed baking sheet. Reserve skillet. Roast cauliflower until tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, return skillet to medium-high heat and add garlic cloves and tomatoes, one cut side down. Cook until tomatoes are browned; turn tomatoes over and transfer skillet to oven with cauliflower. Roast garlic and tomatoes until tender, about 12 minutes.
  • Transfer garlic, tomatoes, and 1/2 tablespoon oil to a blender; purée until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Divide tomato sauce among plates. Place 1 cauliflower steak on each plate; spoon relish over. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Selecting the Right Cauliflower: Choose a cauliflower head that is compact, firm, and has a bright white color. Avoid heads with blemishes or bruises.
  • Preparing the Cauliflower Steaks: Cut the cauliflower into 1-inch thick slices, making sure to keep the core intact. This will help the steaks stay together during cooking.
  • Seasoning the Steaks: Before cooking, season the cauliflower steaks generously with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices or herbs. This will enhance their flavor.
  • Grilling or Roasting: You can either grill or roast the cauliflower steaks. If grilling, preheat the grill to medium-high heat and cook the steaks for 5-7 minutes per side, or until tender and slightly charred. If roasting, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and roast the steaks for 15-20 minutes per side, or until tender and browned.
  • Making the Olive Relish: To make the olive relish, simply combine chopped olives, capers, red onion, parsley, and lemon juice in a bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Conclusion:

Cauliflower steaks are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or side dish. They are packed with nutrients and low in calories, making them a healthy addition to any meal. With their mild flavor, cauliflower steaks easily absorb the flavors of the spices and herbs they are cooked with, making them a great canvas for culinary creativity.
