Grilled Cauliflower Steak

Method

Preparation Instructions

1

Prepare the Cauliflower

Preheat the grill to medium-high. Cut the cauliflower head into thick slices (steaks). Brush both sides with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.

2

Grill the Cauliflower

Place the cauliflower steaks on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until tender and charred. Remove from the grill and set aside.

3

Cook the Quinoa

In a saucepan, bring vegetable broth to a boil. Add the rainbow quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy. Remove from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

4

Make the Chimichurri

In a blender or food processor, combine parsley, cilantro, garlic, red wine vinegar, preserved lemon, and water. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt if necessary.

5

Serve

On a plate, arrange the grilled cauliflower steak, add a serving of rainbow quinoa, and drizzle with chimichurri. Finish with a drizzle of preserved lemon oil if desired.
