Cut the cauliflower in half through the base. Take your time trying to cut two nice ‘steaks’ from each side.
^denotes a staple item, not supplied by Green Dinner Table.
*Mint is a shared ingredient, if you are on a 3-night plan, use all. If you are on the 4 or 5 night plan use half.
Heat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
Put a pot of salted water on to boil for the brown rice..
Once boiling cook the rice for 25 – 30 minutes till tender.
Zest the lemons and set aside.
Heat some oil in a medium pan until hot. Pat dry the capers and fry until crispy (about one minute).
Put the capers on a paper towel to dry then pour the oil into a bowl.
Keep the oil for a salsa, further down the recipe. (step 6)
Trim the outer leaves off the cauliflower (a few soft inner leaves are fine).
Cut the cauliflower in half through the base to create two even pieces, top to bottom. Trim the outside off to create two 2 to 3 cm steaks, the stem should hold it together. You will get 2 steaks out of each cauliflower.
Coarsely chop the outside florets.
Cook the florets in boiling water for 10 to 12 minutes, until fully cooked. Strain and blend with tahini, garlic, lemon juice (keep the lemon halves), a pinch of salt, blend until very smooth. Taste and add more salt, as needed. Return to the pot to keep warm.
Heat a large frypan with a little oil. Fry the cauliflower steak for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Add salt while cooking. Finish in the oven (with the lemon halves) for 8 to 10 minutes, until just cooked. Once cooked, sprinkle over with lemon zest.
Mix the capers, walnuts, raisins, caper oil and vinegar together to create a ‘salsa.’
Serve with puree on the plate, add the steaks, spoon over brown rice and caper, walnut, raisin salsa. Rip over mint and squeeze over extra lemon, to taste.
