Ingredients
  

Cauliflower Steaks

  • 2 large heads cauliflower
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil + more for the grill
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • ½ teaspoon thyme
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons za'atar or sumac optional
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • dash of pepper
  • 1 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • fresh parsley chopped

Yogurt Tahini Sauce

  • ½ cup plain yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons tahini
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • dash of salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • Remove all the outer leaves that are on each of the cauliflower heads. Cut off the stem at the bottom of each cauliflower.
  • You want the cauliflower to stand up on a flat base when set down.
  • Set each cauliflower head on its base. Cut the sides off the cauliflower. Cut the rest of the cauliflower into 3 medium-sized steaks. You want them to be large enough, so they stay intact on the grill.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, oregano, thyme, za'atar or sumac (optional).
  • Heat a grill to medium (about 350°F).
  • Place the cauliflower steaks on a large cutting board or two large plates. Brush each side of the cauliflower with the olive oil mixture and sprinkle and dash of salt and pepper on each side.
  • Set the cauliflower steaks on the grill and close the grill.
  • Grill for 5-7 minutes on each side. You want the cauliflower to just begin to char and become tender.
  • Remove from the grill and sprinkle feta cheese and fresh parsley on the cauliflower steaks.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, salt and pepper and whisk well.
  • Drizzle the yogurt tahini sauce over the cauliflower steaks. Enjoy!

Notes

  • The yogurt tahini sauce would be a great sauce to drizzle on grilled chicken, steak, salmon or shrimp.
