Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cauliflower

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower, then slice it into 1-inch thick 'steaks'.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Cauliflower

    In a bowl, mix the harissa paste, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture onto both sides of the cauliflower steaks.

  3. 3

    Make the Romesco Sauce

    In a food processor, combine roasted red peppers, almonds, garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, smoked paprika, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Grilling

  1. 4

    Grill the Cauliflower Steaks

    Place the marinated cauliflower steaks on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have grill marks.

Serving

  1. 5

    Plate the Dish

    On a serving plate, place a grilled cauliflower steak, drizzle with romesco sauce, and top with arugula. Finish with a drizzle of pomegranate molasses.
