ROASTED CAULIFLOWER STEAKS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place cauliflower steaks on the prepared baking sheet.
• Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl. Brush 1/2 of the olive oil mixture over the tops of the cauliflower steaks.

HERB-CRUSTED CAULIFLOWER STEAKS WITH BEANS AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Arrange racks in middle and upper third of oven; preheat to 425°F. 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 in the center from top to bottom to yield 2 (1") "steaks"; reserve remaining cauliflower for another use.
• Place cauliflower on a rimmed baking sheet. Brush both sides with 1 Tbsp. oil; season with 1/4 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Roast on middle rack, turning halfway through, until cauliflower is tender and browned, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss green beans with 1 Tbsp. oil, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper on another rimmed baking sheet. Arrange in a single layer, then roast in upper third of oven until green beans begin to blister, about 15 minutes.
• Whisk garlic, lemon zest, 1/3 cup parsley, and remaining 6 Tbsp. oil, 1 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper in a medium bowl until smooth. Transfer half of mixture to another medium bowl. Add panko and Parmesan to first bowl and mix with your hands. Add white beans and tomatoes to second bowl and toss to coat. Whisk mayonnaise and mustard in a small bowl.
• Remove sheets from oven. Spread mayonnaise mixture over cauliflower. Sprinkle 1/4 cup panko mixture evenly over cauliflower. Add white bean mixture to sheet with green beans and toss to combine. Return sheets to oven and continue to roast until white beans begin to crisp and panko topping starts to brown, 5-7 minutes more.
• Divide cauliflower, green beans, white beans, and tomatoes among plates. Top with parsley.

CAULIFLOWER STEAKS WITH AVOCADO HERB SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the sauce first by gently mixing all ingredients together. Set aside.
• For the steaks Remove the greens from the base of the cauliflower and discard. Keep the stem intact.
• Cut two cauliflower steaks out of the middle of the head. Reserve the remaining cauliflower for another use.
• Add the Avocado oil to a hot pan and reduce hte heat to medium. Throw in the cloves of garlic. Season the steaks with salt and pepper. Lay the steaks into the pan.
• Let them sear and squeeze the lemon juice over the cauliflower. Throw the lemon half in the pan. Turn the cauliflower when browned on one side and continue to sear on the other side. Add a little water and cover and let steam about 5 minutes. Add butter to pan and baste the steaks turning if browning too much. Once they are nicely brown remove the steaks to a serving plate. Drizzle some of that pan sauce over the steaks and top with the Avocado sauce.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER STEAKS WITH STEAK SAUCE

Steps:

• For the steaks: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.
• Remove the outer leaves from the cauliflower and trim the stem to 1 inch. Resting on the stem, slice the cauliflower in half lengthwise, from top to bottom. Trim the round outer edge of each piece so both sides are flat, creating two or three approximately 2-inch steaks. Cut the trimmed bits in half into mini steaks.
• Thoroughly rub the steaks and mini steaks all over on both sides with the oil. Combine the paprika, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl and sprinkle on both sides of the steaks. Place on the prepared baking sheet and bake, flipping halfway through, until tender and browned, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the steak sauce.
• For the steak sauce: Put the raisins in a medium bowl, cover with boiling water and allow to soak until soft, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, sprinkle with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until very soft and translucent, 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook, stirring constantly so it doesn't burn, until it releases its oil, about 5 minutes.
• Drain the soaked raisins. Add the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce and half of the soaked raisins, and cook over low heat, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet, until just simmering. Taste and add pepper and salt if desired (the soy contains a lot of salt so add with caution).
• Pour the sauce into the carafe of a mini blender, add the remaining half of the soaked raisins and puree until smooth and there are no big chunks of raisin.
• If the sauce has cooled, reheat it in a small saucepan until warmed through. Pour the warm sauce over your steaks and garnish with the chopped parsley.
