GRILLED CAULIFLOWER STEAKS

Cutting cauliflower into "steaks" and grilling them not only gives a flavorful, caramelized, and smoky taste, the presentation is lovely! A delicious change from boring old steamed cauliflower! I like my cauliflower a little on the firm side, so add a few extra minutes if you like it softer.

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

¼ cup olive oil
1 lemon, juiced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon brown sugar
½ teaspoon chili powder
1 pinch ground black pepper to taste
2 large heads cauliflower
2 tablespoons minced cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Whisk oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, smoked paprika, brown sugar, chili powder, and black pepper together in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Remove the tough bottom leaves from each cauliflower, taking care not to remove the stem. Place the cauliflower heads onto a cutting board with the stem side facing upwards; cut vertically on both sides of the stem to remove the loose florets. Reserve florets for another use.
  • Cut each cauliflower vertically through the stem into 2 even "steaks", 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick. Remove any remaining small leaves from each steak. Place the 4 steaks on a baking sheet.
  • Brush one side of the steaks with some of the oil mixture. Place steaks on the grill, oiled side down; grill for 5 minutes. Brush more oil mixture on top of the steaks and gently flip over; grill until golden brown and slightly charred, 5 to 7 minutes more. Drizzle with any remaining oil and remove to a plate. Sprinkle with cilantro.

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     side-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large head cauliflower, cut into 1- to 2-inch florets (about 6 cups)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Cilantro Pesto, recipe follows
Cotija cheese and cilantro leaves, for serving
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon lime zest and 3 tablespoons lime juice, from 1 to 2 limes
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 clove garlic, smashed and peeled
2 cups packed cilantro leaves
1 cup roasted and unsalted cashews
1/2 cup crumbled Cotija cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high.
  • Add the cauliflower, olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to a large mixing bowl. Toss to coat the cauliflower. Transfer to a grill basket and grill, tossing occasionally, until the cauliflower is charred in places and softened, about 10 minutes. (This can alternatively be done on an indoor grill pan.)
  • Transfer the grilled cauliflower to the serving bowl with the Cilantro Pesto and toss to coat.
  • Garnish with Cotija cheese and cilantro. Serve immediately or at room temperature.
  • Add the olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, pepper flakes and garlic to a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Pulse together until the garlic is finely chopped. Next, add the cilantro and blend until smooth. Add the cashews and Cotija cheese and pulse until the mixture becomes a thick paste and is evenly combined. Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl and set aside until the cauliflower is grilled.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cauliflower: Look for a head of cauliflower that is firm and has tightly packed florets. Avoid heads with any signs of bruising or wilting.
  • Cut the cauliflower into uniform florets: This will help them cook evenly. Aim for florets that are about 1-2 inches in size.
  • Marinate the cauliflower: Marinating the cauliflower in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices will help to infuse it with flavor and keep it moist while cooking.
  • Grill the cauliflower over medium-high heat: This will help to create a slightly charred and smoky flavor. Be sure to turn the skewers regularly so that the cauliflower cooks evenly on all sides.
  • Serve the grilled cauliflower skewers with your favorite dipping sauce: A simple yogurt-based sauce or a tangy vinaigrette are both great options.

Conclusion:

Grilled cauliflower skewers are a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this versatile vegetable. They are perfect for a summer barbecue or as a quick and easy weeknight meal. With a few simple tips, you can easily make grilled cauliflower skewers that are packed with flavor and nutrition.
