Thai Peanut Cauliflower Steaks

Thai Peanut Cauliflower Steaks

These Thai Peanut Cauliflower Steaks are roasted to perfection and then drizzled with a savory peanut sauce. Perfect for lunch, dinner or as a snack! 

If you are unfamiliar with cauliflower steaks, they’re simply cauliflower that’s been sliced long-ways and then roasted to perfection. The stalk of cauliflower tends to be pretty thick, so you do have to use a fork and knife to cut them, similar to a steak.If there’s one sauce that I am obsessed with yet don’t make nearly enough it’s thai peanut sauce. Oh myyyyy it is GOOD, and every time I do have it I get mad at myself for not making it more often. I think it has something to do with the fact that when I hear “peanut” I think of peanut butter, and who wants to eat cauliflower and peanut butter? But it’s not like that! It’s more like a savory peanut sauce, which does pair really well with vegetables.

Perhaps the best part about these thai peanut cauliflower steaks are that they’re quick, fool-proof, and can be enjoyed as lunch, dinner or simply as a snack. WIN.

**You will most likely have extra peanut sauce, and that’s ok! You can easily use it with your thai wrap tomorrow for lunch! If you’ve eaten the Thai Wrap at Kuaui – this is the sauce 😉 probably not exactly, maybe even better 😉

For my Gluten Free Friend xxx Enjoy!

 

Ingredients

  • 2 heads cauliflower
  • 1–2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the sauce:

  • 1/4 cup peanuts or any healthy nut
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 1 tbsp honey or organic maple syrup
  • 1 tsp red curry paste (generic buy at Woolies)
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger grated
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1/2 cup organic peanut butter (the healthy ones not generic)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 200°C.
  • Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and then slice cauliflower long-ways into four even pieces (don’t worry if they aren’t perfect!) and place them on a baking sheet.
  • Brush cauliflower with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper; cook for 15-20 minutes, or until cauliflower is tender and golden brown on edges.
  • While cauliflower is cooking, prep the sauce by combining all ingredients in a food processor blender and pulsing until smooth.
  • Drizzle peanut sauce over cauliflower OR scoop it into a small dish and dip cauliflower into sauce.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

*If sauce is too thick, you can simply dip the cauliflower steaks into it instead of drizzling it over top. However, if you want the drizzle, add a bit of water 1 tbsp at a time until mixture is to the proper consistency.
