Grilled Cauliflower Steaks

Grilled Cauliflower Steaks are a delightful vegetarian dish that brings the essence of French BBQ to your table. Charred on the outside and tender within, these steaks are infused with a zesty herb marinade that enhances their natural flavors.

Ingredients

• Cauliflower - 1 medium head
• Olive oil - 4 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Dijon mustard - 1 tablespoon
• Fresh thyme - 1 tablespoon, chopped
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Parmesan cheese - 30 grams, grated (optional)
• Fresh parsley - 1 tablespoon, chopped (for garnish)

Steps

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
2. Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower head, then slice it into 1.5 cm thick steaks.
3. In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper.
4. Brush both sides of each cauliflower steak with the marinade, ensuring they are well coated.
5. Place the cauliflower steaks on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are nicely charred and tender.
