Herb Roasted Cauliflower Steaks

From Your Pantry

 

2 cloves garlic

2 tsp dried oregano

3 tbsp olive oil

2 tsp balsamic vinegar

Generous pinch of salt and black pepper

2 thick slices stale bread

 

Method

 

Roast the cauliflower steaks

 

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Rub the cauliflower steaks with 2 tbsp olive oil, the oregano, salt and pepper. Roast for 25–30 minutes, turning halfway through, until tender and golden.

 

Make the lemon-parsley crumbs

 

Tear or blitz the bread into coarse breadcrumbs. Heat 1 tsp oil in a small frying pan and toast the crumbs for 3–4 minutes until golden and crisp. Stir in the lemon zest, chopped parsley and a pinch of salt.

 

Cook the bean stew

 

Add the crushed garlic, drained white beans and chopped tomatoes to a saucepan. Simmer for 5–7 minutes until thick and rustic. Stir in the balsamic vinegar and season to taste.

 

Assemble the dish

 

Spoon the bean stew into serving bowls. Place a roasted cauliflower steak on top and finish with a generous scattering of the lemon-parsley crumbs.

 

To Serve

 

Serve immediately while the cauliflower is crisp and the stew is hot.
