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.

TURMERIC-GINGER MARINADE

Steps:

• Toast the turmeric and chilli powder in a dry frying pan. Mix with the grated ginger, garlic cloves and vegetable oil. Season.

MARINATED GARLIC

Steps:

• Blanch the whole cloves of garlic in boiling water for 5 minutes; remove, and plunge into cold water. Drain and dry off the garlic.
• Mix the remaining ingredients (except the fresh oregano sprigs) in a blender until emulsified. If using dried oregano toss it in with the oil and vinegar.
• Put the cloves in a jar and cover with the marinade, tuck the sprigs of oregano into the jar. Cover and allow it to marinate for at least 5 days in the refrigerator. Serve as is for a snack or side dish or add to a green salad.
• Don't be surprised if a couple of people polish off the whole batch in one sitting! I had tried several other marinated garlic recipes before this one and was not happy with the results. This one is perfect!
• *NOTE: You can double the garlic cloves and will still have enough dressing to cover. The marinade makes a fantastic salad dressing after you use up the garlic.
