Ingredients

1 large head cauliflower
1 teaspoon ground cumin
5 tablespoons canola oil
1/4 cup loosely packed cilantro washed and finely chopped
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 clove garlic minced
1 small jalapeno seeded and finely chopped
1/4 cup loosely packed fresh parsley leaves washed and finely chopped

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 F.
To make "steaks", cut 2 slices from center of cauliflower (each about 1-inch thick); reserve remaining cauliflower for another use.
Combine cumin and 1 tablespoon canola oil and brush all over cauliflower slices; sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt.
In 12-inch oven-safe skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil on medium-high until hot. Add cauliflower; cook 3 minutes. Turn slices over. Place skillet in oven and roast 15 to 20 minutes or until stem is tender.
Meanwhile, stir together cilantro, parsley, vinegar, garlic, jalapeno, remaining 2 tablespoons oil and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Serve "steaks" with herb sauce.

Recipe Tips

Skip the stove top step and place steaks into the oven, allowing to roast 15 minutes per side.

Use leftover cauliflower in soups, as a snack dipped into dressing or hummus, boiled with potatoes and mashed, or add it to stir fry.
