Notes
- Save the pieces of cauliflower that has been cut off for another purpose.
- Try to choose cauliflower that has a thick stem down the center. If the stem is skinny then you will only get 2 cauliflower steaks from it.
- Cauliflower adapts well to a variety of sauces such as our buffalo sauce, tahini sauce, spicy Thai peanut sauce or a creamy cheddar cheese sauce.
