I like a fully loaded substantial sandwich. By that I mean a robust sauce, a thick piece of grilled protein or vegetables and lots of fresh greens. This sandwich is toothsome and very satisfying.<\/p>\n<p>The recipe for this&nbsp;Romesco is elevated with the smoky chipotle which also adds a good heat that I love. If you can\u2019t find chipotle use smoked paprika like the traditional recipe here. I find Romesco a great sauce\/ condiment to keep handy in the fridge to add to everything from sandwiches to rice.<\/p>\n<p>The cauliflower \u201csteak\u201d. A term I really don\u2019t like using for vegetables but I get why it\u2019s fitting for cauliflower. It does cooks like one, present like one and is toothsome like steak. I experimented with a few different recipes on the internet and liked this recipe for making a perfect cauliflower steak from the Genius cookbook by Food52 I think it\u2019s by Chef Dan Barber.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nutrilious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/5CFE56D3-B3CA-413F-A26F-A967143B9A26.jpeg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-4358 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nutrilious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/5CFE56D3-B3CA-413F-A26F-A967143B9A26-914x1024.jpeg?resize=914%2C1024\" alt=\"\" width=\"914\" height=\"1024\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s &nbsp;how I did it.<\/p>\n<p><b><u>Chipotle Romesco sauce&nbsp;<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n<p>1 medium onion sliced<br \/>\n1 jar roasted red peppers drained or make your own by roasting 2 red peppers<br \/>\n3 whole sun-dried tomato, preferably the one soaked in olive oil, drained cut into slices<br \/>\n1\/4 cup\/ 40 grams sliced almonds, lightly toasted<br \/>\n2 tbsps really good extra virgin olive oil<br \/>\n1 \u00bd tablespoon lemon juice + one teaspoon lemon zest<br \/>\n3 small cloves garlic, peeled and chopped<br \/>\n1 teaspoon chipotle with adobo sauce or more if you like it hotter<br \/>\n1\/2\u2019tsp sweet smoked paprika<br \/>\n1 teaspoon ground cumin ( optional)<br \/>\n1 \u00bd teaspoon coarse salt<br \/>\n\u00bc teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground<\/p>\n<p>To make the sauce: in a small frying pan add one tablespoon olive oil and saut\u00e9 the sliced onions till soft.
