Smoky Cauliflower Steak and Kale Quinoa Salad
Ingredients
- 1 large cauliflower cut into 2 thick steaks about 2 cm thick
- 1 tablespoon vegan butter
- Herbs of choice, I used tarragon
- 1 cup kale
- 1/2 cup cooked quinoa
Sauce
- 2 tablespoons liquid aminos or soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon tomato puree
- 1 tablespoon xylitol or sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon smoked paprika
Preparation
Make the sauce by mixing all the ingredients together.
Preheat oven to 180°C.
Add butter into a skillet followed by cauliflower and herbs. Cook for a few minutes on each side until cauliflower begins to brown.
Spoon 2 tablespoons of sauce over each steak and cook for 1 minute more on each side.
Transfer the contents of the skillet to a lined baking tray and place in the oven.
Roast the cauliflower for 40 minutes until done, turning halfway and adding 1 tablespoon of sauce for each steak once turned. Finish cooking under the grill for 3 minutes on each side.
Transfer the cauliflower to a serving plate. Add kale and quinoa to the same baking tray, mix with the remaining sauce, and place in the oven for 10 minutes.
