CAULIFLOWER STEAKS WITH HARISSA GLAZE
RECIPE:
1 medium – large organic cauliflower
1 -2 tablespoons light tasting oil
HARISSA PASTE FOR GLAZE
2 teaspoons harissa paste
2 teaspoons agave
1 teaspoon paprika (sweet)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
2 teaspoons water
METHOD:
When cutting cauliflower into steaks aim to cut so you have a cluster of florets clustered together. Leave the stem intact this prevents the steak from falling apart.
Use a sharp knife and slice through the cauliflower, make each cut up to 4 cms or 1.5 inches in thickness.
*Remove the outer leaves from the cauliflower keeping the core intact, make your cuts as above.
* I used a cast iron pan but you can use any open pan. Heat pan over medium heat. Add oil and place cauliflower steaks in the pan, sear both sides until browned, 2-3 minutes. remove from heat.
*Combine Harissa paste, agave, paprika, salt, turmeric and water to form a thin paste.
*Brush cauliflower steaks with Harissa paste making sure to get into all the crevices and then arrange on baking paper.
*Bake in pre-heated oven for 5-8 minutes or until cooked and tender when fork tested.
