Harissa Glazed Cauliflower Steaks

Harissa Glazed Cauliflower Steaks

Pre-Cleanse Dinner
Cauliflower steaks are seared in a hot pan, then roasted in a smoky, spicy, and sticky glaze until tender. We’ve paired ours with fresh spring asparagus and topped with our Chermoula Recipe. It’s also great with a swirl of vegan yogurt to cut the heat. Harissa spice blend is a Moroccan-style seasoning available from all good supermarkets or Middle Eastern grocers, harissa a spicy chili paste.

  4. When you’re happy with the color—it should be a dark, charred, and golden brown—remove it from the heat and brush the glaze over the top.
  5. Return to the oven and roast until tender.
  6. Meanwhile, saute the asparagus in a good drizzle of olive oil, season with salt and cracked pepper, and squeeze with lemon
Top the steaks with chermoula, vegan yogurt if using, and serve with the asparagus. Voila!
