    Toast Naan

    Cut and Sear Cauliflower Steaks

    Trim greens and leaves from base of cauliflower. Place cauliflower head upside down on cutting board. Cut a straight line down either end of the stem, reserving the two side pieces. Cut center section in half to make two 1½-inch thick "steaks." Drizzle with olive oil, half the curry powder and a pinch of salt and pepper. Melt butter in a medium pan over medium high heat. Add cauliflower steaks and caramelize on one side for 4 minutes, then flip and brown second side 3 minutes. Transfer steaks and butter to baking sheet and roast in oven 6-8 more minutes until tender.

    Roughly chop ¾ cup the reserved cauliflower side pieces. Add cauliflower to medium pot with raisins, half of the red onion, lemon zest, juice from one lemon half, and 2 Tbsp. of water. Bring to a boil and reduce to simmer. Continue cooking until liquid is mostly gone and cauliflower is tender. Remove from heat and add roasted red pepper and half of the cilantro. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
