Spiced Cauliflower Steak
with a Protein Packed Salad
- Milk
If you’ve never had a cauliflower ‘steak’ it’s exactly what it sounds like: cauliflower sliced lengthwise into steak-like portions, seasoned, and either grilled or roasted (we roast ours in this recipe) until tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. Quinoa is an excellent source of plant-based protein, making it the perfect base for the salad. Seeds and dried fruit add another layer of texture to the dish, whilst a fresh squeeze of lemon and a handful of chopped coriander and a Greek yoghurt dressing keep the dish fresh and light.

a) Add the cauliflower to the bowl. Rub the mixture evenly onto both sides of the cauliflower (and any smaller bits that fell off!). Make sure they are evenly coated. Season well with salt and pepper. TIP: Wear rubber gloves to prevent staining your hands! b) Transfer to a lined baking tray and roast on the top shelf of your oven for 10-15 mins. TIP: They are ready when a knife can easily be stuck through the thickest part .
