Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large heads of cauliflower
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
Remove the leaves and trim the stems of the cauliflower heads so they can sit flat. Slice each head into thick steaks, approximately 1 to 1.5 inches thick. You should get about 2 to 3 'steaks' per head depending on the size.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you don't have a grill, you can use a grill pan on the stove.
Brush each cauliflower steak with olive oil on both sides and season with salt and black pepper.
Place the cauliflower steaks on the grill and cook for about 7-8 minutes per side, checking occasionally to ensure they don't burn. You want them to be slightly charred and tender.
While the cauliflower is grilling, prepare the lemon herb vinaigrette. In a small mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, and Dijon mustard.
Slowly whisk in the remaining olive oil until the vinaigrette is well emulsified and season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Once the cauliflower steaks are done, remove them from the grill and place them on a serving platter.
Drizzle the lemon herb vinaigrette generously over the hot cauliflower steaks.
Serve immediately as a main dish or a hearty side, and enjoy your Whole30-friendly meal!
