Grilled Cauliflower Steak Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Cauliflower

   Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and slice it into 1-inch thick steaks. Brush both sides with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

2. 2

   Grill the Cauliflower

   Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the cauliflower steaks for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have grill marks. In the last few minutes of grilling, brush the steaks with miso paste.

3. 3

   Make the Carrot Puree

   While the cauliflower is grilling, peel and chop the carrots. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and blend with a little olive oil and salt until smooth.

4. 4

   Cook the Quinoa

   Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.

5. 5

   Sauté Maitake Mushrooms

   In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the maitake mushrooms and sauté until golden and tender, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

6. 6

   Assemble the Dish

   On a plate, spread a layer of carrot puree, top with the grilled cauliflower steak, add sautéed maitake mushrooms, and a scoop of quinoa. Garnish with pomegranate seeds and serve with salsa verde on the side.
