Iโve written the full recipe out for you below, so enjoy, and let me know if you give it a go ๐
INGREDIENTS (serves 2)
CAULI
1 large cauliflower
1 tbsp smoked paprika
3 garlic cloves
2 tbsp butter
CHIMICHURRI
30g fresh parsley
1 garlic clove
1/2 red chilli
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
100ml extra virgin olive oil
BUTTER BEAN PURรE
500g butter beans (@boldbeanco jarred best)
1 lemon
1 garlic clove
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
Salt
Pepper
METHOD
1. First, make the chimichurri. Finely chop the parsley + add to a mixing bowl. Finely dice the chilli, mince the garlic + add to the herbs with the vinegar. Season to taste + stream in the oil whilst mixing until throughly combined. Set aside.
2. For the butter beans, if using jarred, simply pour into a blender with the juice of 1/2 a lemon, salt, pepper, 1 minced garlic clove + nutritional yeast. If canned, separate beans from liquor, adding 1 tbsp at a time to get creamy texture.
3. For the cauliflower, chop into steaks. Save the extra florets for another recipe or roast with salt, pepper, paprika + olive oil to serve alongside the steaks. Chop up the leaves + stems & set aside for a zero-waste garnish.
5. Season the steaks with salt, pepper + paprika on both sides, then drizzle with oil + massage well.
6. Get a frying pan to medium high. Add 2 tbsp olive oil. Once hot, add the steak + press down to sear. After several minutes, flip + fry other side until golden brown.
7. Bash the garlic cloves, add with the butter + baste continuously. Once the steaks are cooked, remove from the pan + add the chopped leaves/stems with a splash more oil & cook until golden + crisp.
8. To serve, spoon the bean purรฉe into the middle of a plate. Place the steak on top, drizzle with chimichurri & scatter over the cauli leaves - enjoy!
