Ingredients
Method

Ingredients

  • 1 large cauliflower
  • 2 tablespoons harissa paste
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Olive oil
To serve:
  • 10g coriander
  • 70g pomegranate seeds
  • 50g pine nuts, toasted
  • Charred lemon halves
  • 150g Labneh
  • Method

  • 1
    Preheat the oven to 200 °C.
  • 2
    Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and trim the base so it sits flat. Slice the cauliflower into thick steaks, about 2.5–3 cm each, keeping the core intact so the slices hold together. Any loose florets can be cooked alongside the steaks.
  • 3
    Heat the Le Creuset Cast Iron 28cm Shallow Casserole over medium heat and add a generous drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, place the cauliflower steaks into the casserole in a single layer. Season well. Fry for 4–5 minutes, until the underside is deeply golden and caramelised. Add the butter and harissa to the pan and allow it to melt around the steaks.
  • 4
    Flip the steaks carefully and reduce the heat slightly. Baste the harissa butter over the cauliflower as it cooks. Continue frying for another 6–8 minutes, or until the steaks are tender when pierced with a knife but still hold their shape.

    To serve, spread the labneh onto a serving plate. Arrange the cauliflower steaks on top. Scatter over the toasted pine nuts, pomegranate seeds, and coriander. Drizzle with the harissa butter from the casserole and serve warm with the charred lemon.
