Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 200°C (fan 180°C, gas 6).
- Prepare the cauliflower steaks: Stand each cauliflower upside down and cut away the sides of the stalk to create flat “steaks.” Remove the lower stalk and halve each steak for thinner pieces. Chop remaining cauliflower bits into small chunks.
- Season and roast the steaks: Rub the 4 cauliflower steaks with 1 tablespoon curry powder and place them on a non-stick baking tray. Lightly spray with cooking spray and roast for 30 minutes. Add the reserved leaves for the last 3-4 minutes of roasting.
- Simmer the curry sauce: While the steaks cook, combine the cauliflower chunks, onion, vegetable stock, and remaining curry powder in a saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Cook the rice: Follow package instructions to cook the rice, then drain and keep warm.
- Blend the sauce and season: Remove about 4 large spoonfuls of cauliflower chunks from the pan and set aside. Blend the remaining sauce with a hand blender or food processor until smooth. Season to taste and return the reserved cauliflower chunks to the pan.
- Assemble and serve: Divide rice between plates, top with the flavorful curry, and crown each serving with a crispy cauliflower steak and a few roasted leaves.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, add a tablespoon of coconut oil to the onion while sautéing.
- Adjust the spice level to your preference by using more or less curry powder.
- Serve with a dollop of low-fat yogurt or a sprinkle of chopped fresh cilantro for added garnish.
- This recipe is easily adaptable to other vegetables. Try using broccoli florets, sweet potato slices, or bell peppers instead of cauliflower.
- For a thicker sauce, blend fewer cauliflower chunks or mash them roughly with a fork before adding them back to the pan.
- Add your favorite vegetables, such as chickpeas, bell peppers, or spinach, to the curry for extra texture and nutrients.
- Adjust the curry powder amount to your spice preference.
- Top with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley for an extra burst of flavor.
