Roasted Cauliflower Steaks Food

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER STEAKS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Cut off the cauliflower stems, then place the heads cut-side down and slice into 1/2-inch-thick steaks. Arrange on a baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides. Transfer to the oven and bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes, flipping after the first 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the pine nuts to a dry medium saute pan and toast over medium heat until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add the raisins and butter and season with salt. Cook, tossing, until the butter has melted and coats the pine nuts and raisins. Off the heat, stir in the parsley.
• Transfer the roasted cauliflower to a serving platter. Pour the pine nut-raisin mixture over the top. Season with salt.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER 'STEAKS'

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Place the cauliflower onto a cutting board with the stem side facing upwards; cut vertically into 4 steaks approximately even in thickness. Arrange 'steaks' onto the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over the steaks; season with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
• Roast in preheated oven for 20 minutes, turn with a spatula, and continue to roast until soft in the middle and darkening around the edges, about 15 minutes more.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER STEAKS

• 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.
• Roast cauliflower steaks in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Gently turn over each steak and brush with remaining olive oil mixture. Continue roasting until tender and golden, 15 to 20 minutes more.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER STEAKS WITH RAISIN RELISH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Combine the peppers, raisins, parsley, cider vinegar, capers and 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a bowl.
• Trim the base of the core from the cauliflower, and then cut the head into 1-inch-thick slices. Cut any florets that fall off into 1-inch pieces. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper over both sides of each cauliflower slice. Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cauliflower steaks and florets and cook, turning the steaks once, until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven.
• Roast until a knife easily pierces through the steaks, 15 to 20 minutes. Spoon the relish over the steaks and serve.

CAULIFLOWER STEAKS WITH ROASTED RED PEPPER & OLIVE SALSA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 and line a baking tray with baking parchment. Slice the cauliflower into two 1-inch steaks - use the middle part as it's larger, and save the rest for another time. Rub the paprika and ½ tbsp oil over the steaks and season. Put on the tray and roast for 15-20 mins until cooked through.
• Meanwhile, make the salsa. Chop the pepper, olives, parsley and capers, and put into a bowl and mix with the remaining oil and vinegar. Season to taste. When the steaks are cooked, spoon over the salsa and top with flaked almonds to serve.

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.

ROASTED PARMESAN CAULIFLOWER STEAKS #RAGU

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to boil. Cut the rounded sides off the cauliflower. Cut each center piece in half lengthwise in order to make 2 steaks. Make sure to carefully remove any green, leafy bottoms from the cauliflower steaks.
• Rinse off the steaks and the florets. Place in boiling water for 5-7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix the buttermilk, italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and 1 tsp of salt together. Set aside. Pulse together 2 cups arugula, pine nuts, 1/4 cup parmesan, garlic, basil, remaining salt, pepper, and 1/2 cup olive oil for 30 seconds; set aside.
• Drain the cauliflower, and place them into a large gallon plastic, resealable bag. Reserve 1/2 cup of boiling water. Pour the buttermilk marinade into the bag, and coat the cauliflower very well. Marinate the steaks for an hour by laying the bag flat. Carefully, flipping the bag over halfway through.
• Preheat oven to 450F degrees. Mix the remaining parmesan with the breadcrumbs. Set aside for dredging along with the flour and egg wash.
• Remove the cauliflower steaks from the bag. Drain. Dredge one side of each steak in flour, egg wash, and lastly, parmesan bread crumbs. Place the steaks dredged side up on a baking rack along with the other marinated florets. Place the baking rack in a cookie sheet to catch any drippings.
• Roast on 450F degrees for 30 minutes, covered. Uncover for the last 15 minutes until fork tender.
• In an electric blender, blend all the smaller roasted florets, the Ragú pasta sauce, and reserved water until smooth. Heat stovetop on medium-high heat. Assemble each plate with sauce, pesto, a cauliflower steak, and additional arugula.
