Introduction

This is one of the most visually beautiful dishes in the book, and tastes as good as it looks. Serve with Greek yogurt and some cous cous on the side

Ingredients

	To serve:
1	very large cauliflower
1	red onion, quartered
1 tbsp	olive oil
1 tsp	sea salt
4 tsp	harissa
125g	soft goat’s cheese, crumbled
30g	pine nuts, roughly chopped
20g	panko breadcrumbs
2 tbsp	fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
	cous cous
	Greek yogurt

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C fan/200°C/ gas 6. Remove the greens from the cauliflower and pop them into the roasting tin along with the red onion. Mix with the olive oil and season with salt.

Slice the cauliflower from top to bottom into four thick steaks and lay these in the tin along with the greens and red onion. Rub each steak on both sides with ½ teaspoon of harissa. Season with sea salt, then press the goat’s cheese onto each steak.

Mix the pine nuts, panko breadcrumbs and parsley with a pinch of sea salt, then scatter a quarter of this over each cauliflower steak, pressing down lightly.

Drizzle with olive oil, then transfer to the oven to roast for 25–30 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and the cauliflower is just cooked through. Serve the steaks with cous cous and Greek yogurt, with the crispy leaves and onions alongside.
