Cauliflower Steak with Sun-Dried Tomato and Olive Salsa

Cauliflower Steak is a must-try, even for meat-eaters! If your children are apprehensive about cauliflower, roasting it, which brings out its sweet flavour, may change their minds. If desired, you can omit the olives. You can also try serving these “steaks” over a bed of tomato sauce and sprinkle them with shredded mozzarella cheese.

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
2. Remove the leaves from the cauliflower, leaving the stem end intact. Cut the entire cauliflower in half crosswise, starting from the top. Then slice each half into four 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch “steaks” (you should end up with 8 pieces; some florets will separate—reserve them for another recipe).
3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Lightly spray the skillet with vegetable oil and sauté the cauliflower “steaks” for about 3 minutes per side, just until browned.
4. Transfer the “steaks” to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, just until fork-tender.
5. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the olives, tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice and basil.
6. To serve, divide the cauliflower steaks among serving plates. Top with the olive mixture and sprinkle the feta over top.
