Ingredients:
- 1 head of cauliflower
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves of minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 3 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Grated mozzarella to taste
Millet cream (optional):
-
- 1 cup millet
- 4 cups of water
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 100 ml tahini
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 pinch of salt
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Olive oil and paprika to finish
Preparation method:
Wash the cauliflower well and cut into slices about a finger thick, like steaks. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and set aside.
In a bowl, mix the olive oil, paprika, salt, chopped garlic and grated parmesan until you get a homogeneous mixture.
Then brush the cauliflower slices with this sauce on both sides, spreading it evenly.
Place in a preheated oven at 200°C and bake for 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, place the millet in a colander, rinse well under running water and transfer to a saucepan.
Add 4 cups of water and cook for approximately 20 minutes, until the water has completely evaporated, leaving a texture similar to cooked rice.
Remove the cauliflower from the oven, sprinkle grated mozzarella cheese on top and return to the oven for another 5 minutes, until golden brown.
In a blender or food processor, place the cooked millet, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, tahini, cumin powder, a pinch of salt and lemon juice. Blend until you obtain a smooth, homogeneous cream.
Transfer to a bowl, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle paprika on top.
To serve, place a generous portion of the cream on the plate, place a cauliflower steak gratin on top, sprinkle with parsley and consume immediately.
Suggestion: If you are not used to eating millet or have difficulty finding the ingredients, serve the cauliflower with mashed potatoes.
