Cauliflower Truffle Steak
Truffled cauliflower steaks are a rich and unexpected addition to any meal. The trick is to serve them piping hot and to use a lid on the pot to make sure the insides are cooking through. I use a big old cast iron pot to make ours.Prep Time: 5 Minutes, Cook Time: 10 Minutes
Ingredients
- olive oil
- truffle oil
- 2 heads of cauliflower
- pine nuts
- Italian parsley
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Wash cauliflower heads and slice through to create large 1-1.5” thick “steaks” from the center portions of the heads. Set aside and save the ends that crumble off for another dish.
- Pour 1-2 tablespoons olive oil on medium high heat in a large low pot with a lid. Heat uncovered and drop in pine nuts and sauté for a couple of minutes.
- Carefully place as many cauliflower steaks as you can fit in the bottom of the pot.
- Drizzle with truffle oil.
- Flip them carefully and frequently as they begin to brown and lower heat as needed, adding more truffle oil the entire time.
- Cover the pot with the lid between flips so the insides of the steaks are cooking through.
- When the insides are just cooked (cut one to test if needed) remove the steaks and plate.
- Drizzle with a little truffle oil and a scoop of pine nuts from the bottom of the pot.
- Garnish with chopped Italian parsley. Enjoy!
