Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

1 head cauliflower (2 pounds), cored and cut into large florets
2/3 cup whole milk
1 stick unsalted butter
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
Pinch of cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add sweet potatoes and return to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 8 minutes. Add cauliflower; return to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes and cauliflower are very tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain and return vegetables to pot.

CHIMICHURRI CAULIFLOWER STEAKS WITH MASHED SWEET POTATOES



Chimichurri Cauliflower Steaks with Mashed Sweet Potatoes image

A few years back my best friend and I took a brief road trip to Scottsdale, Arizona, and stayed in a beautiful desert resort that had a well-known steakhouse on site. I was intrigued to see a cauliflower steak on the menu and ordered it. I was absolutely blown away and wanted to create my own version at home. The savory cauliflower steak pairs beautifully with the sweetness from sweet potatoes, and the chimichurri seals the deal!

Time 35m

Yield 2 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 large head cauliflower
Pink Himalayan salt or kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground coriander
2 medium Japanese sweet potatoes or white sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped
Pink Himalayan salt or kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup soy milk or other plant-based milk, warm
1 clove garlic
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup vegan red wine vinegar
1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro leaves
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley leaves
1 shallot, finely chopped
1 red jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt or kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • For the cauliflower: Remove the outer green leaves from the head of cauliflower and trim the stem. Using a large knife, cut the cauliflower in half lengthwise, through the core. Cut a 1 1/2-inch thick steak from each half (save the remaining cauliflower for another use).
  • Place the steaks on the prepared baking sheet and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
  • Whisk the oil, lemon juice, paprika, garlic powder and coriander together in a small bowl. Brush half of the mixture on the top of the steaks, flip them and brush the remaining mixture on the other side. Roast the steaks until golden brown, about 15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • For the mashed sweet potatoes: While the cauliflower roasts, bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Add the sweet potatoes and a pinch of salt and cook until fork tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain, return to the saucepan and cover to keep warm.
  • Just before serving, with the back of a fork or potato masher, mash the potatoes until smooth. Add the warm soy milk and continue to mash. Grate the garlic clove into the saucepan, add a pinch each of salt and pepper and stir to combine. Keep warm.
  • For the chimichurri: Combine all the chimichurri ingredients in a small bowl and stir to combine. Set aside.
  • Spread the mashed potatoes on plates and top with cauliflower steaks. Drizzle with some of the chimichurri. Serve and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold and sweet potatoes are the best choices for mashing, as they have a creamy texture and hold their shape well.
  • Roast the cauliflower before mashing: Roasting the cauliflower brings out its natural sweetness and adds a nutty flavor to the mash.
  • Use a food processor or blender: A food processor or blender is the best way to achieve a smooth and creamy mash. If you don't have one, you can mash the vegetables by hand with a potato masher.
  • Add flavorings: Feel free to add your favorite herbs and spices to the mash. Garlic, rosemary, thyme, and nutmeg are all great options.
  • Serve immediately: Mashed potatoes and cauliflower are best served immediately after they are made. If you need to make them ahead of time, reheat them gently over low heat, stirring constantly.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato and cauliflower mash is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you are looking for a creamy and comforting side dish or a healthier alternative to mashed potatoes, sweet potato and cauliflower mash is a great option.
