​​Roasted Cauliflower Steaks with Creamed Spinach

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450°F. Line two baking sheets with foil. Carefully trim stem ends from cauliflower, leaving cores intact so florets are still attached. Place cauliflower heads, core sides down, on cutting board. Using a chef’s knife, cut cauliflower vertically into four 1- to 1¼-inch-thick “steaks” (reserve ends and loose pieces for another use). Arrange steaks and onion slices on prepared baking sheets.

Step 2

In a small bowl combine tamari and 1 tablespoon water. Brush mixture over steaks and onion. Sprinkle with black pepper. Roast 25 to 30 minutes or until golden, turning once. Halve onion slices.

Step 3

Meanwhile, for creamed spinach, in an extra-large skillet cook and stir spinach, half at a time, over medium until wilted, adding water, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time, to help it wilt. Transfer to a colander. Squeeze out liquid. In the skillet cook shallot and garlic over medium, stirring and adding water, 1 tablespoon at a time, as needed to prevent sticking. In a small bowl whisk together flour, nutritional yeast, and ¼ cup of the plant milk. Add remaining plant milk to skillet. Gradually whisk in flour mixture. Cook and stir 8 minutes or until mixture is thickened and bubbly. Stir in nutmeg then spinach.

Step 4

Serve cauliflower over farro. Top with onion and spinach. Sprinkle with crushed red pepper.
