Preparation

Cauliflower Steaks

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.

Wash the cauliflower, remove the bottom of the stem and leaves and set aside.

Slice the cauliflower lengthwise into steaks, remove loose florets and also set aside.

Place the cauliflower steaks on baking paper on a tray and sprinkle with olive oil, salt and a few sage leaves.

Roast in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes until the cauliflower is golden.

After roasting, remove the sage leaves.

Puree

Place the cauliflower stem, leaves and florets in a small pot with unpeeled ginger and turmeric and some water and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer over medium heat until everything is soft.

Add 2 tbsp olive oil, salt and pepper.

Purée everything until smooth.

Arrange the cauliflower steaks on the purée and garnish with olive oil, lemon juice, basil, sage, chopped pecans and thin onion slices. Season with salt and pepper. You can soak the onions in a jar with cold water and some apple cider vinegar and salt for about 10 minutes to enhance their flavor and make them easier to digest.
