GRILLED CAULIFLOWER STEAKS



Grilled Cauliflower Steaks image

To enjoy the full-range of cauliflower in one dish, from raw and snappy to caramelized and tender, cut a head into slabs and grill only one side. Flat sides beget more charring than florets because they provide more direct contact with the grill. To ensure the cauliflower doesn't dry out, grill just one side. The tops will remain juicy and sweet, while the undersides will become deeply browned and nutty. Before grilling, any small bits of cauliflower that would fall through the grates are added raw to a lively sauce of dill, lime juice, chile and peanuts. Feel free to swap in another sauce you like on cauliflower or grilled dishes, like buffalo, parsley-olive or a nutritional yeast dressing.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 small heads cauliflower, stems trimmed (about 1 ½ pounds)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling and greasing the grates
Kosher salt
1/2 cup finely chopped dill fronds and stems
3 tablespoons lime juice (from 2 limes)
1 fresh chile, such as serrano or Fresno, seeded if desired, finely chopped
3 tablespoons roasted, salted peanuts, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Heat a grill to medium-high. Stand the cauliflower on its core, then slice vertically into 1/2-inch thick slabs. (It's OK if they don't stay together.) Transfer large pieces that won't fall through grill grates to a baking sheet. Drizzle generously all over with oil and season generously with salt. For any small bits that would fall through the grates, coarsely chop them and transfer to a medium bowl.
  • To the bowl of chopped cauliflower, add the 1/4 cup olive oil, dill, lime juice, chile and peanuts. Stir to combine and season generously with salt.
  • When ready to grill, clean the grates with a grill brush, then lightly grease the grates. Add the cauliflower slabs and cook on one side until deeply charred and crisp-tender underneath only, 8 to 10 minutes. (If using a gas grill, close the lid.) Use a spatula to transfer the cauliflower, grilled-side up, to a platter.
  • Spoon the dill-peanut sauce over the grilled cauliflower. Serve warm or at room temperature.

GRILLED CAULIFLOWER STEAKS

Cutting cauliflower into "steaks" and grilling them not only gives a flavorful, caramelized, and smoky taste, the presentation is lovely! A delicious change from boring old steamed cauliflower! I like my cauliflower a little on the firm side, so add a few extra minutes if you like it softer.

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

¼ cup olive oil
1 lemon, juiced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon brown sugar
½ teaspoon chili powder
1 pinch ground black pepper to taste
2 large heads cauliflower
2 tablespoons minced cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Whisk oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, smoked paprika, brown sugar, chili powder, and black pepper together in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Remove the tough bottom leaves from each cauliflower, taking care not to remove the stem. Place the cauliflower heads onto a cutting board with the stem side facing upwards; cut vertically on both sides of the stem to remove the loose florets. Reserve florets for another use.
  • Cut each cauliflower vertically through the stem into 2 even "steaks", 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick. Remove any remaining small leaves from each steak. Place the 4 steaks on a baking sheet.
  • Brush one side of the steaks with some of the oil mixture. Place steaks on the grill, oiled side down; grill for 5 minutes. Brush more oil mixture on top of the steaks and gently flip over; grill until golden brown and slightly charred, 5 to 7 minutes more. Drizzle with any remaining oil and remove to a plate. Sprinkle with cilantro.

GRILLED WHOLE CAULIFLOWER WITH MISO MAYO



Grilled Whole Cauliflower with Miso Mayo image

Basting a head of cauliflower in a spicy butter sauce as it grills infuses it with flavor and turns it a nice orange color. Served over a lemony miso mayo and topped with scallions, it makes for an impressive-looking grilled vegetarian entrée, or you can serve it as a side alongside your favorite grilled meat.

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large head of cauliflower, leaves removed, stem trimmed
1/2 tsp. (or more) kosher salt
4 Tbsp. unsalted butter
1/4 cup vinegar-based hot sauce (such as Frank's)
1 Tbsp. ketchup
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 Tbsp. white miso
1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
2 scallions, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Sprinkle cauliflower all over with salt in a large microwave-safe bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pierce plastic a few times with a knife to vent, and microwave on high until a paring knife easily slides into stem, about 5 minutes. Let cool slightly. (Alternatively, set a steamer basket in a large pot filled with about 1" salted water. Cover pot and bring water to a boil. Add cauliflower, cover, and steam until a sharp paring knife easily slides into stem, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and let cool slightly.)
  • Heat butter, hot sauce, ketchup, and soy sauce in a small saucepan on grill, stirring occasionally, until butter is melted, about 2 minutes. Brush cauliflower all over with sauce and grill, covered, 10 minutes. Turn cauliflower over, brush with sauce, and grill, covered, 10 minutes. Continue to grill, brushing and turning every 10 minutes and reheating sauce as needed, until cauliflower is lightly charred on all sides and fork-tender, 25-30 minutes. The sauce should be used up by now, but if not, brush any remaining sauce over. Transfer cauliflower to a plate and let cool slightly.
  • Whisk mayonnaise, miso, lemon juice, and pepper in a medium bowl until smooth. Spread on a plate. Set cauliflower on top and scatter scallions over.
