Ingredients
For the cauliflower steak
- 1 large cauliflower head
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp thyme dried
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp mustard
For the tomato sauce
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large onion diced
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 can tomato 14 oz
- 2 tbsp tamari or soy sauce
Instructions
- Cut off the leaves and the cauliflower stem. Cut the cauliflower into 1-1.5 inch 'steaks', starting from the edge. Either save any of the smaller florets that fall away to use in a different recipe, or brush them with the sauce and prepare them as you would the larger steaks.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, dried thyme, garlic and mustard.
- Brush one side of each cauliflower steaks with the sauce, and lay them out in a large frying pan. Do not overcrowd - it may be necessary to work in batches.
- Cook for around 5-6 minutes, then brush the other side, flip and continue cooking for 5 minutes more. They should be crispy, lightly golden, and fork-tender.
- Make the tomato sauce. Heat the olive oil in a large pan, then add the onion and tomato paste. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until softened. Now add the canned tomatoes and tamari, cooking for 5 minutes more.
- Serve the cauliflower steaks with the tomato sauce.
