Crispy Cauliflower Steak with Herb Quinoa Bowl

Discover the magic of Crispy Cauliflower Steak paired with herb-infused quinoa, sweet peas, and creamy dressing. A vegan delight that's as satisfying as it is delicious!

I present to you my Crispy Cauliflower Steak with Herb Quinoa Bowl, a dish that’s not only delicious but also a feast for the senses. Brace yourself for a whirlwind of flavors, textures, and a hearty dose of satisfaction!

I can’t contain my excitement for this culinary creation! Picture this: crispy, crunchy cauliflower that practically explodes with flavor as you take your first bite. Paired with my favorite quinoa, sweet pops of peas and edamame, and a creamy, tangy dressing that ties it all together – this dish will put the biggest smile on your face. It’s so satisfying; you won’t believe it’s vegan!

What you will need for these Cauliflower Steak Bowls:

  • Cauliflower: The star of our show! Cauliflower steaks are a joy to prepare and create a delightful meaty texture when coated and pan-fried.
  • Quinoa: A versatile grain that’s full of iron and protein. It’s a superfood for a reason! Cooking it in vegetable stock infuses it with flavor.
  • KALE: trust meeee kale haters! I’ll bring you around with this one!! So much flavor without sacrificing health. Try kale this way before you make your final judgement!!
  • PEAS: sweet beautiful pops of fresh peas are sooo delicious in my dish! You could use corn if peas aren’t your jam! 
  • EDAMAME: packed full of plant protein these are a great addition kit only for their yummy nutty flavor but for an extra protein boost. To sustain you for longer! 
  • CORN FLOUR: the corn flour will create the crispiest crunch when frying! 
  • TURMERIC POWDER: anti inflammatory amazingness! Turmeric has a beautiful flavor and is packed with health benefits. It will aid digestion. And works against body inflammation! 

What you need for maybe one of the best dressings:

A dressing can make or break a dish, and this one is a winner!

  • Vegan Mayo: If you’re not vegan, feel free to use regular mayo, but there are some fantastic vegan mayo options out there that are creamy and delicious.
  • Lemon Juice: That tangy kick is bright and beautiful in this dressing, adding a great punch and bringing out all the other flavors.
  • Garlic: Adds depth and flavor to the dressing. If you’re not a fan, ginger could work well as a substitute.
  • Maple Syrup: Strikes a perfect natural sweet balance to offset the lemon. It’s versatile and an excellent choice of natural sweetener.
  • Pepper: Seasoning is essential, and pepper adds a delightful note to dressings.
  • Tahini: Creamy, thick, and delicious! Tahini is made from ground-up sesame seeds and adds a rich, nutty flavor that’s amazing in dressings, especially this one.
  • Cilantro (or Your Choice of Fresh Herb): Again, I adore cilantro, but you’re more than welcome to sub it for any fresh herb of your choice.

Prepare your kitchen, your appetite, and get ready for a feast that will tantalize your senses.

As you literally hear the crunch of these Crispy Cauliflower Steak your heart might sing a little. Food is not just nourishment; it’s a celebration of life’s simple pleasures. Cooking doesn’t have to be difficult or with a bazillion different ingredients that you will never use again; it can be fun, colorful and dang right enjoyable! So here’s to great meals, joyful bites, and the magic of good food! Enjoy, my friends!
