Vegetarians and vegans rejoice! Put down the vegetable skewer and step clear of the bean burger simply due to the fact I actually have anything new for you to take pleasure in at barbecues this summer. My all time familiar most flexible vegetable is at it again, and this time it’s taking the location of steak.
In this recipe a head of cauliflower is cut into steaks, grilled after which topped with a shiny chimichurri sauce that's packed filled with herby, acidic and spicy flavours.
The chimichurri recipe underneath makes a big quantity so that you might have a few sauce leftover, that you possibly can serve with steak or chicken. I choose to hand chop the herbs, chilli and spring onions so that the sauce is a little bit chunkier but to shop time and create a smoother sauce you might as a substitute throw everything right into a blender or meals processor and pulse.
This is an rather simple recipe to make, but a few warning ought to be taken whilst slicing the cauliflower steaks. The four steaks will come from the middle of the pinnacle of cauliflower, but be certain that a component of the stem is blanketed in each steak so that they cling together.
