Servings: persons

For the red pepper sauce:
1 red pepper
1/2 an onion, finely chopped
1/2 a tomato, finely chopped
1 clove of garlic, finely chopped
2 tablespoons EVOO
Freshly ground black pepper
Salt, to taste
For the cauliflower:
1 large head of cauliflower
3/4 cup vegetable stock (for pan method)
2 tablespoons Olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper
Salt, to taste

1
Place the pepper directly on the open flame of a gas stove or grill. Roast until it blisters and chars on all sides, rotating occasionally with tongs. Place pepper in a zip-lock bag or glass bowl covered with cling film and let it sit for 5 minutes.
2
Take the pepper out and peel away the charred skin; slit lengthwise and remove seeds. Transfer the fleshy bits to the blender jar along with the onions, tomatoes, garlic and extra virgin olive oil and blend to a coarse puree. Season with pepper and salt and set aside. [This sauce can be made earlier and refrigerated until ready to use.]
3
Preheat oven to 180 C (360 F). Note: if grilling out, the steaks can be thrown onto the barbecue directly.
4
Heat a large griddle pan (or regular pan) until very hot. Brush the cauliflower steaks with olive oil and place on the pan, grilling for 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a flat baking tray and lay them out in an even layer without overlapping them. Ladle a little of the stock over each steak and season with salt and pepper. Roast until tender but still holding its shape, about 10-15 minutes. [A good test is to stick a knife in the center of the cauliflower. You want it to go through without too much resistance.]
5
Divide red pepper sauce among plates. Place 1 or 2 cauliflower steaks on each plate. Serve warm or at room temperature.
