Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 60 ml Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 30 grams Fresh parsley
- 20 grams Fresh basil
- 10 grams Fresh thyme
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 2
Remove the outer leaves from the cauliflower and cut the head into thick slices, about 1-inch wide, creating 'steaks'.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Brush both sides of the cauliflower steaks with this mixture.
Step 4
Place the cauliflower steaks on the grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have grill marks. Adjust the heat if necessary to avoid burning.
Step 5
While the cauliflower is grilling, prepare the herb oil. In a blender or food processor, combine the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, basil, thyme, and garlic cloves. Blend until smooth and well combined.
Step 6
Once the cauliflower steaks are cooked and crispy on the edges, remove them from the grill.
Step 7
Transfer the grilled cauliflower to a serving plate and drizzle generously with the herb oil.
Step 8
Serve immediately, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
