Cauliflower steaks are a simple yet delicious dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or side dish. They are easy to make and can be roasted in the oven or grilled. The key to making perfect cauliflower steaks is to choose a head of cauliflower that is firm and has tightly packed florets. Once you have selected your cauliflower, you will need to slice it into steaks that are about 1 inch thick. Then, you will need to season the steaks with your favorite herbs and spices. Once seasoned, the steaks can be roasted in the oven or grilled. They should be cooked until they are tender and slightly charred. Roasted cauliflower steaks can be served with a variety of sauces, such as tahini sauce, pesto, or chimichurri. They can also be topped with cheese, nuts, or seeds.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER STEAKS

The recipe comes to us courtesy of Erin Wysocarski, of Redondo Beach, Calif., a 10-year vegan who has grown accustomed to bringing portable food to holiday gatherings. "Most folks who have never heard the term 'cauliflower steak' give a little chuckle," said Ms. Wysocarski, who writes the Olives for Dinner vegan food blog. "This cauliflower steak tastes good because of the way it's sliced - it gets a little crispy around the edges (especially if you use a cast iron pan) and stays succulent toward the middle." The dish has the added benefit of being portable and easy to reheat.
