Ingredients

Servings

For The Romesco Sauce

  • 2 lices white sandwich bread crust removed – lightly toasted and cut into cubes
  • 3 tablespoons almonds lightly toasted, sliced
  • 1 3/4 cups roasted red pepper jarred
  • 1 tomato cut into slices, small, ripe
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon sherry vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic peeled and minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper or more, if you like it hot
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon salt coarse
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground

For The Vegan Coleslaw

  • 1 1/2 cup red cabbage sliced thinly
  • 1 1/2 cup green cabbage sliced thinly
  • 1 cup carrot shredded
  • 3 tablespoons veganaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon sherry vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery seed
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground

For The Cauliflower Steak Sandwich

  • 1 cauliflower washed and dried, medium-size head
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic peeled and minced
  • 2 ciabatta bread cut in half to make 4 small sandwiches, loaves
  • 1 cup arugula washed and spin-dried

Instructions

To make the romesco sauce:

  1. Place the bread and almonds into the bowl of a food processor. Process until finely ground, 15-20 seconds.
  2. Add in the peppers, tomato, olive oil, vinegar, garlic, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper, and process until it reaches a consistency of mayonnaise, 25-30 seconds.
  3. Taste for seasoning and add if necessary.
  4. Place it in a jar, close it with a lid, and set it aside. (if you are making this in advance, keep it in the fridge.)

To make the coleslaw:

  1. Place all ingredients in a bowl and gently stir to combine. Set aside.
  2. Place the cauliflower, stem side down, on a cutting board. Cut it into 3/4-inch thick “steaks”. Discard the ends. You should have 4 steaks (slices).
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet in medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add in 1 clove of minced garlic and stir for 15-20 seconds.
  4. Transfer 2 of the cauliflower steaks into the skillet and cook 8-10 minutes on each side. Once cooked, place them on a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat the same process for the other 2 steaks using the leftover olive oil and garlic.
  5. Repeat the same process for the second sandwich.

To assemble:

  1. Cut the ciabatta bread lengthwise. Spread 2-3 tablespoons of romesco sauce on each half. Place a cauliflower steak (and florets to fill in – for a visual, watch the video) on the bottom half. Top the steaks off with 3-4 tablespoons of coleslaw and some arugula. Press top half over the bottom.
  2. Using a serrated knife cut each sandwich into two pieces. Serve it with the leftover coleslaw on the side.
  3. Optional: I grilled my sandwiches using a George Forman grill. If you have one (or some other type of grill), I highly recommend grilling it for a few minutes (5-6 minutes in 325 degrees).
