Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
Remove the outer leaves from the cauliflower head and trim the stem, leaving the core intact.
Slice the cauliflower into 1-inch thick 'steaks', aiming for 4-6 pieces.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Brush both sides of the cauliflower steaks with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
Place the cauliflower steaks on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have grill marks.
While the cauliflower is grilling, prepare the lemon herb vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, finely chopped fresh parsley, thyme leaves, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and honey.
Once the cauliflower steaks are done, remove them from the grill and place them on a serving platter.
Drizzle the lemon herb vinaigrette over the grilled cauliflower steaks.
Serve immediately as a light main dish or as a side accompaniment.
