  • kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Peri-Peri Sauce

  • 1 red onion, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 5 garlic cloves, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 4 Red Fresno Chilies stems removed
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper,
  • 1 large ripe tomato, skins removed and roughly chopped
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil

Instructions

Cauliflower Steaks

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees . Remove leaves from stem of cauliflower. Leave the core intact. Place cauliflower core side down and using a large knife, slice cauliflower into four 1/2 inch steaks from the center of cauliflower. Arrange the cauliflower steaks on a oiled baking sheet with any broken florets.
  • Brush the cauliflower slices generously on both sides with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper, then roast in  oven for 20-25 minutes, until golden and cooked through. You can flip the steaks halfway through cooking.
  • When the cauliflower steaks are done, remove from oven and transfer onto individual serving plates. Top each steak with some peri-peri sauce, micro greens, and a sprinkle of pine nuts. Serve with extra sauce on the side.

Peri-Peri Sauce

  • Combine all the ingredients in a blender or a food processor and process until all the ingredients are finely chopped and the mixture becomes a sauce.
  • Transfer mixture to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring often. Adjust seasonings if needed. Pour into jars and keep in refrigerator for up to two weeks.
