I\u2019ve noticed, off recently I have been making a lot more sandwiches and wraps for dinner. 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

The recipe for this 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

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

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s  how I did it.<\/p>\n

Chipotle Romesco sauce <\/u><\/b><\/p>\n

1 medium onion sliced
\n1 jar roasted red peppers drained or make your own by roasting 2 red peppers
\n3 whole sun-dried tomato, preferably the one soaked in olive oil, drained cut into slices
\n1\/4 cup\/ 40 grams sliced almonds, lightly toasted
\n2 tbsps really good extra virgin olive oil
\n1 \u00bd tablespoon lemon juice + one teaspoon lemon zest
\n3 small cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
\n1 teaspoon chipotle with adobo sauce or more if you like it hotter
\n1\/2\u2019tsp sweet smoked paprika
\n1 teaspoon ground cumin ( optional)
\n1 \u00bd teaspoon coarse salt
\n\u00bc teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground<\/p>\n

To make the sauce: in a small frying pan add one tablespoon olive oil and saut\u00e9 the sliced onions till soft. Add the chopped garlic. Take it off the heat and cool slightly.
\nIn a food processor pulse the almonds till they are a sand like consistency. Add the onion mixture, the remaining olive oil, paprika, cumin, cayenne, salt, pepper, lemon zest and pulse a few times. Now add sun- dried tomatoes, roasted peppers, chipotle,lemon juice. Blend it to a smooth paste. Store in a clean jar refrigerated.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For the Cauliflower<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n

2 small to medium heads cauliflower ( you can get 2 steaks per cauliflower)
\n2 +2 tablespoons olive or avocado oil
\nSalt and pepper to season<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Heat oven to 350\u00b0F. Using sharp heavy knife and starting at top center of cauliflower head, cut two 1-inch-thick slices of cauliflower, cutting through stem end. Set cauliflower steaks aside. You should get about 2 clean steaks per cauliflower.<\/li>\n
  2. use the remaining florets for another recipe.<\/li>\n
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons olive or avocado oil in heavy large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Brush cauliflower steaks with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the cauliflower steaks on the hot skillet and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.<\/li>\n
  4. Transfer skillet to the oven and bake cauliflower steaks until tender, about 10 minutes. Set aside.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    To assemble<\/p>\n

    good quality sliced whole grain bread or your favorite bread<\/p>\n

    3-4 cups of greens of your choice ( baby spinach, baby kale, sprouts, chopped romaine)<\/p>\n

    Toast or use fresh bread topped with a generous spread of Romesco sauce, cauliflower steak then topped with greens.<\/p>\n
