Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Cauliflower head
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Cut the cauliflower head into thick slices or 'steaks', about 3/4-inch thick, ensuring they hold together.
In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil with the salt, pepper, and water. Brush over the cauliflower slices on both sides.
Place the cauliflower slices on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until grill marks appear and the cauliflower is tender.
While the cauliflower is grilling, prepare the herb oil by finely chopping the parsley, basil, and thyme.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to a small mixing bowl with the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, chopped herbs, and a pinch of salt.
Stir the herb oil mixture well to combine all the ingredients.
Once the cauliflower is grilled, transfer it to a serving platter.
Drizzle the herb oil over the top of the grilled cauliflower and serve immediately.
