Ingredients

1- 1 1/2-pound head of cauliflower

1 1/2 cups water

1 cup whole milk

2 tablespoons vegetable oil plus additional for brushing .

Directions

Preheat oven to 250°F.

Using sharp heavy knife and starting at top center of cauliflower head, cut two 1-inch-thick slices of cauliflower, cutting through stem end.

Set cauliflower steaks aside.

Cut enough florets from remaining cauliflower head to measure 3 cups.

Combine florets, 1 1/2 cups water, and milk in medium saucepan, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Strain, reserving 1 cup cooking liquid.

Spread florets on large rimmed baking sheet, and bake 10 minutes until slightly dry.

Transfer florets to blender.

Add reserved 1 cup cooking liquid and puree until smooth.

Return puree to same saucepan and increase oven temperature to 350°F.

Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in heavy large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Brush cauliflower steaks with additional oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Add cauliflower steaks to skillet and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.

Transfer skillet to oven and bake cauliflower steaks until tender, about 10 minutes.

Rewarm cauliflower puree over medium heat.

Divide puree between 2 plates; top each with cauliflower steak.

Ingenious and very different. Looks great too. Impressive enough for a restaurant menu, if you ask me. Great post, thanks for sharing.

I have made this twice, and it is wonderful. Everyone I have served it to has loved it. I added onions sauteed in olive oil, chicken broth, a little more milk and what was left over, and it made a great soup for a later day.

This looked intriguing enough to make, but they turned out pretty bland (I ended up eating them with a ton of salt and pepper). If you can think of a way to spice them up, maybe... Otherwise, not something I'll make again.

I love cauliflower and this sounds great with addition of onion and maybe a little garlic. Incredible idea, thanks.

I wonder if you can do something similar to broccoli?
