GRILLED CAULIFLOWER STEAKS
To enjoy the full-range of cauliflower in one dish, from raw and snappy to caramelized and tender, cut a head into slabs and grill only one side. Flat sides beget more charring than florets because they provide more direct contact with the grill. To ensure the cauliflower doesn't dry out, grill just one side. The tops will remain juicy and sweet, while the undersides will become deeply browned and nutty. Before grilling, any small bits of cauliflower that would fall through the grates are added raw to a lively sauce of dill, lime juice, chile and peanuts. Feel free to swap in another sauce you like on cauliflower or grilled dishes, like buffalo, parsley-olive or a nutritional yeast dressing.

Steps:
- Heat a grill to medium-high. Stand the cauliflower on its core, then slice vertically into 1/2-inch thick slabs. (It's OK if they don't stay together.) Transfer large pieces that won't fall through grill grates to a baking sheet. Drizzle generously all over with oil and season generously with salt. For any small bits that would fall through the grates, coarsely chop them and transfer to a medium bowl.
- To the bowl of chopped cauliflower, add the 1/4 cup olive oil, dill, lime juice, chile and peanuts. Stir to combine and season generously with salt.
- When ready to grill, clean the grates with a grill brush, then lightly grease the grates. Add the cauliflower slabs and cook on one side until deeply charred and crisp-tender underneath only, 8 to 10 minutes. (If using a gas grill, close the lid.) Use a spatula to transfer the cauliflower, grilled-side up, to a platter.
- Spoon the dill-peanut sauce over the grilled cauliflower. Serve warm or at room temperature.

To make the perfect cauliflower with Gorgonzola sauce, here are some tips:- Choose a firm head of cauliflower with tightly packed florets.
- Cut the cauliflower into evenly sized florets so that they cook evenly.
- Use a combination of olive oil and butter to sauté the cauliflower. This will give it a rich flavor and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
- Add a splash of white wine to the pan before adding the Gorgonzola sauce. This will help to deglaze the pan and add depth of flavor to the sauce.
- Use a high-quality Gorgonzola cheese for the sauce. This will make all the difference in the flavor of the dish.
- Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes before adding the cauliflower. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the cauliflower with Gorgonzola sauce over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.
