BBQ Cauliflower Steak, Mature Cheddar Herb Topping, Smoked Paprika Sauce
Thick cauliflower steaks are perfectly charred on the BBQ, then topped with a rich blend of mature cheddar and fresh herbs. This savoury and flavourful dish is a delicious, vegetarian twist for your summer BBQs.
Ingredients
2 Medium sized cauliflowers
300ml Semi skimmed milk
200g Mature grated cheddar
1 Bunch chopped spring onions
½ Bunch chopped chives
½ Bunch chopped curly parsley
200ml Cold pressed rapeseed oil
Salt
Milled pepper
10g Smoked paprika
Top tip
Be sure to keep the milk on low heat to avoid burning it.
Method
- Cut the cauliflowers into four thick steaks and put aside on a tray.
- With the rest of the cauliflower trimmings, cut down into smaller pieces and place in a saucepan and cover with the semi skimmed milk and half of the smoked paprika.
- Place the saucepan on the stove and bring to the boil on a gentle heat. Simmer the cauliflower pieces in the milk for 5 – 10 mins until soft.
- Place the cooked cauliflower in a blender with the paprika milk and blend until smooth. Set aside.
- Brush the four cauliflower steaks with a little of the cold pressed rapeseed oil, then season with the remaining smoked paprika, salt and pepper.
- Place the seasoned cauliflower steaks on a hot BBQ grill and cook for approximately 8 minutes each side until soft to the touch.
- Remove the cooked cauliflower steaks from the BBQ and place on a tray.
- Place the chopped spring onions, chives, curly parsley and grated cheddar cheese in a bowl and mix together thoroughly, season with salt and pepper.
- Sprinkle the herb cheese topping liberally onto the BBQ cauliflower steaks and return them to the BBQ for 2 – 3 minutes to warm them through before serving.
To Serve
- Place each cauliflower steak on a serving plate and spoon some of the smoked paprika cauliflower sauce around.
- A good accompaniment to this dish would be a celery, walnut and apple salad.
