Ingredients

• Cauliflower - 1 medium head
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley - 50 grams
• Fresh basil - 25 grams
• Capers - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 1 clove
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Nutritional yeast - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
2. Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and cut it into thick slices (about 2-3 cm each).
3. In a bowl, mix olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture onto both sides of the cauliflower slices.
4. Place the cauliflower slices on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have nice grill marks.
5. While the cauliflower is grilling, prepare the salsa verde: in a food processor, combine parsley, basil, capers, garlic, lemon juice, and nutritional yeast. Pulse until finely chopped.
6. With the processor running, slowly drizzle in 2 tablespoons of olive oil until the mixture is smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt to taste.
7. Once the cauliflower is done, serve it warm, drizzled with the salsa verde.
