Cauliflower Steak

Herb Oil

Carrot Purée

Grilled Broccolini

Brussel Sprouts

Lemon Thyme Pan Sauce

Method

Cauliflower Steak

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cauliflower

    Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and cut the head into 1-inch thick slices, resembling steaks.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Cauliflower

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Brush the mixture onto both sides of the cauliflower steaks and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Grill the Cauliflower

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the cauliflower steaks for about 5-7 minutes on each side until they are tender and have grill marks.

Herb Oil

  1. 4

    Blend the Herb Oil

    In a food processor, combine fresh parsley, basil, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt. Blend until smooth and set aside.

Carrot Purée

  1. 5

    Cook the Carrots

    Peel and chop the carrots into small pieces. In a saucepan, combine carrots, butter, salt, black pepper, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the carrots are tender, about 15 minutes.

  2. 6

    Purée the Carrots

    Drain the carrots and transfer them to a blender. Blend until smooth, adding a little water if necessary to achieve a creamy consistency.

Grilled Broccolini

  1. 7

    Prepare the Broccolini

    Toss the broccolini with olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.

  2. 8

    Grill the Broccolini

    Grill the broccolini for 3-4 minutes until tender and slightly charred.

Brussel Sprouts

  1. 9

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the bacon grease in the pan.

  2. 10

    Sauté the Brussel Sprouts and Peppers

    In the same skillet, add cut brussel sprouts and sweet bell peppers. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender.

  3. 11

    Add Brown Sugar and Bacon

    Crumble the cooked bacon and stir it back into the skillet along with the brown sugar, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes.

Lemon Thyme Pan Sauce

  1. 12

    Make the Sauce

    In the skillet used for the brussel sprouts, add chicken or vegetable broth, fresh thyme, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
