Cauliflower Steaks with Almonds
One of the best ways to make and eat a cauliflower steak while getting all the hearty nutrients!
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- ¼ cup Almonds chopped
- 3 tbsp Butter
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- ¾ tsp Salt
- ¼ tsp Black pepper
Instructions
- Remove the leaves of the cauliflower and cut it into equal sized steaks approximately 1 inch thick.
- Chop up the almonds or blitz them for 2 or 3 pulses in a food processor so they remain chunky.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- While the oven preheats, heat up a frying pan on medium heat. Add in the oil and butter. Once the butter has melted add a cauliflower steak to the pan (depending on the size of your pan will determine how many you can cook at a time). Let it shallow fry, after about 2 minutes, use a spatula to lift it slightly and take a look at the color. Once the cauliflower has turned golden brown use the spatula to flip the steak over to the other side.
- Add the crushed almonds to the pan and let them toast while cooking the cauliflower.
- With a tablespoon baste the cauliflower with the butter/oil and almonds for another 2 minutes until the almonds are completely toasted and the cauliflower looks beautifully caramelized.
- With the spatula remove the cauliflower steak from the pan and place it on an oven friendly tray. Now repeat the process until you have shallow fried all the steaks.
- Once you have completed shallow frying and placed the cauliflower steaks onto an oven friendly dish then place it in the oven for another 5 minutes to finish cooking completely.
- Strain the almonds out of the butter/oil for later use.
- Remove the steaks from the oven and sprinkle the almond bits over all of the steaks.
