That's right, cauliflower steaks!!! SO good.

Test Kitchen Tip: A portion of the stem is needed to hold the cauliflower intact, so a head will yield only two steaks. Break the trimmings into florets for a veggie platter, or season and roast them alongside the steaks.

1 head cauliflower
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 pepper


Grape & Pine Nut Relish:

1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon zest
3 tablespoons lemon juice
pinch salt
1 shallot , minced
1 cup sliced red grapes
1/2 cup parsley , chopped
1/4 cup pine nuts , toasted ** we had slivered almonds, which are maybe even preferable!!
2 tablespoons currants
Preheat oven to 425°F.

Line baking sheet with parchment paper.

Remove tough outer leaves from cauliflower; trim stem. Halve cauliflower lengthwise through stem; trim off rounded sides of each half to make two 1 1/4-inch thick steaks. Reserve trimmings for another use (see tip, opposite).

Arrange cauliflower on prepared pan; brush with oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast, flipping halfway through, until tender and browned, about 40 minutes.

Grape & Pine Nut Relish: Meanwhile, in bowl, whisk together oil, lemon zest, lemon juice and salt; stir in shallot, grapes, parsley, pine nuts and currants. Serve over cauliflower steaks.
