Cauliflower Steaks With Coconut Turmeric Relish Food

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH COCONUT-TURMERIC RELISH

Steps:

• Place oven rack in lowest position and preheat to 450°F. Toss cauliflower and oil on a large rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Arrange cauliflower so a flat side is facing down and roast until dark brown and crisp on bottom, 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven and turn pieces over. Roast until second side is dark brown and crisp, 10-15 minutes. Let cool slightly.
• Transfer warm cauliflower to a platter. If using, spoon relish over top and season with more salt and pepper.

COCONUT CAULIFLOWER STEAKS WITH SPICY SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Using a large knife, cut the cauliflower vertically through the core into 3/4-inch-thick steaks, then carefully cut the steaks in half through the core to form mini steaks (you should have 6 to 8 mini steaks). Reserve any remaining cauliflower for another use.
• In a shallow dish, spread the flour and season with salt and pepper. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch each of salt and pepper. In another shallow dish, mix the panko with the coconut and season well with salt and pepper.
• Dredge one cauliflower steak in the flour, then dip in the egg, turning or using a spoon to coat. Finally, dredge in the panko mixture, pressing to help it adhere; transfer to a wax paper-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining steaks.
• In a large, deep skillet, heat 1/2 inch vegetable oil over medium-high heat until glistening. Working in batches, fry the cauliflower steaks over medium heat, turning once, until golden and crisp-tender, 6 to 8 minutes; adjust the heat as needed. Transfer to a wire rack set over a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while you fry the remaining steaks.
• Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk the sour cream with the mayonnaise and habanero sauce; season with salt and pepper. Transfer the cauliflower steaks to a platter and serve with the sauce, lime wedges and cilantro leaves.

CAULIFLOWER STEAK WITH TURMERIC AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°C.
• Trim the stem of the cauliflower and remove the leaves, but leave the core in tact.
• Using a large knife, cut the cauliflower from top to base into three or four 3/4-inch-thick steaks. Season each steak with salt and pepper on both sides.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Sear the cauliflower steaks until golden brown, about 2 minutes on each side.
• Bring together the ginger, cumin, turmeric and mix in a tablespoon of olive oil. Brush or spoon the mixture on the cauliflower steaks.
• Place this on the baking tray and roast for around 15 minutes, until tender.
• Cook the quinoa as instructed, serve the cauliflower on top and garnish with the coriander and some mixed salad.
