Parmesan-Crusted Cauliflower Steaks
- 2 None medium heads cauliflowers, outer leaves removed
- 3 cups milk
- 3 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small red chili pepper, seeded and finely chopped
- 1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1 tbsp grated lemon peel
- 1 None egg, beaten
- Preheat the oven to 400u0b0F. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- Using a sharp knife, cut three 1/3 inch-thick slices from center of each cauliflower to make 6 cauliflower steaks. Set aside. Coarsely chop remaining cauliflower. Reserve half the chopped cauliflower for another use.
- Place remaining chopped cauliflower in a food processor. Process until fine crumbs form. Transfer to a saucepan. Add milk and bring to a boil on high heat. Reduce heat to low; simmer for 8-10 mins, until tender. Add butter and stir until melted. Set aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Cook chili pepper for 1 min, or until fragrant. Add cauliflower steaks and cook for 2-3 mins each side, until golden. Drain on paper towels and cool slightly.
- Combine breadcrumbs, cheese, parsley and lemon peel in a shallow dish. Dip each cauliflower steak in egg and then breadcrumb mixture, pressing to coat lightly. Place on prepared pan. Bake for 15-20 mins, until golden and tender.
- Meanwhile, place cooled cauliflower mixture into a blender. Blend until smooth. Strain through a fine sieve into a clean saucepan. Stir on low heat for 5 mins, or until heated through. Season.
- Spoon cauliflower puree onto serving plates. Top with cauliflower steaks and serve.
