Ingredients
cauliflower steaks
- ½ inch slices of cauliflower, from the middle of the head
- olive oil
- minced garlic
- salt
garlic-lemon yogurt
- 6 oz. plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons juice of half of a small lemon plus a bit of the zest
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 to 1 tablespoon olive oil a splash
- salt
- pinch of red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350. If you've just washed your cauliflower, pat it dry and sprinkle with salt. Let it sit and dry while your oven is preheating.
- Place them on a baking sheet and bake them (we're pre-cooking them) for 15 minutes, or until they're a little bit soft and barely browning on the edges. Remove from oven.
- Meanwhile, stir the yogurt ingredients together. Taste and adjust. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and coat the bottom of it with olive oil. Add the garlic and then the cauliflower steaks. Cook on each side for about 5 minutes or until they're golden brown and caramelizing. (reduce heat if the garlic starts to burn).
- Remove them from the skillet, salt them a little bit more and serve with a few greens & pomegranate seeds (optional)... and generous dollops yogurt sauce (less optional).
