Cauliflower steaks
In a pot, boil and cook cauliflower for 10 mins on medium low.
While cauliflower is cooking, add the rest of your ingredients in a pestle and mortar.
Grind until the fennel seeds are fully crushed.
Once cauliflower is cooked, slice in order to get your “steaks”.
Coat your cauliflower on both sides.
On your BBQ grill, cook for 15 minutes on each side. If you don’t have a BBQ, you can place them in the oven - just as yummy!
Enjoy with your Basil Cilantro Pesto or your favorite hot sauce!
