Method
Method for Cauliflower Steak
Slice through the head of the cauliflower to create steaks,
around 20 mm thick
Rub a little oil onto the cut surface of the cauliflower
Place flat side down into a pre heated non stick pan & cook
for 4 to 5 minutes creating a rich golden crust, gently turn over
and finish cooking for a minute or two longer, seasoning with the
salt whilst cooking
Place to one side and keep warm
Method for Bacon Steaks
Preheat your griddle or heavy based frying pan until it sizzles
when you add a drop of oil
Place the steaks in the pan or griddle fat side down, to render
a little and become golden
Place onto flat side then cook over high heat turning the steak
only once after a rich, golden crust has formed, reduce heat to
medium when crust has formed
Cook 5 to 6 minutes each side until firm to touch
Finish by adding a small knob of butter whilst the bacon steak
rests for a few moments
To Serve
Place the cauliflower steaks onto a warm plate
Top with the bacon steak
Finish with fresh watercress & a spoonful of piccalilli to
one side. A simple buttered new potato works great with this
dish.
