PREPARATION
- Preheat oven to 400*F.
- Trim the leaves from the bottom of the cauliflower, leave the stem intact. Cut straight through the stem vertically to cut the cauliflower in half then slice into 1 inch slices to create cauliflower steaks. Save the rest of the cauliflower for another recipe.
- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 Tbs olive oil
- Drizzle remaining 2 Tbs olive oil onto the cauliflower steaks and sprinkle with Piri Piri Seasoning.
- Sear each side of the cauliflower steak for about 2 minutes then transfer to the oven and roast for 5-10 minutes until golden brown.
- While the cauliflower is roasting, make the sauce: Combine red peppers, olive oil, cilantro, basil, lime juice and Piri Piri seasoning in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Set aside.
- Remove the cauliflower from the oven and serve immediately with the Piri Piri sauce, roasted peanuts and fresh cilantro. Enjoy!
