Sumac Cauliflower Steaks with Lemon Tahini Sauce

February 10, 2021 · In: Recipes, Savoury

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Have you ever tried sumac? It has a tangy lemon-like flavour and has a beautiful red-purple hue to it. You can use it as a rub for meats (so good on chicken), sprinkled on a salad, a dressing for a salad and more. It pairs so nicely with this recipe along with the lemon tahini sauce. Tangy and delicious!

Sumac Cauliflower Steaks with Lemon Tahini Sauce

Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Prep Time:15 minutes mins
Cook Time:35 minutes mins
Total Time:50 minutes mins

Ingredients

  • 1 medium-large head of cauliflower washed (see notes)
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 teaspoons sumac
  • 4 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 4 teaspoons onion powder
  • Sea Salt
  • Black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 1-2 cloves garlic
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2-3 tablespoons filtered water
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • Pinch of black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Cut cauliflower in half and then slice each half into steaks like you would cut a loaf of bread (about 1/2 -1 inch thick). Reserve the rest of the cauliflower to use for another time. Place steaks onto baking sheet and brush each side with olive oil (use hands if you don't have a brush). 
  • Season each steak with a pinch of sea salt.
  • Season each steak with a pinch of black pepper.
  • Season each steak with 1/2 teaspoon each of garlic powder, onion powder and sumac. Rub the spices in.
  • Flip the steaks and repeat steps 3, 4 and 5.
  • Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until each steak looks golden brown (like in the pictures). Doneness will also depend on the size and thickness of each steak. Carefully flip over each steak half way through.
  • Drizzle lemon tahini sauce over each steak. 
  • Store in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. You might need to add more water if it is too thick.
  • Taste and add more sea salt and pepper if needed.
  • Store leftovers in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

PINEAPPLE BLOOD ORANGE MOCKTAIL 🍍🍊 How bea PINEAPPLE BLOOD ORANGE MOCKTAIL 🍍🍊 

How beautiful are blood oranges? 😍

I’ve been playing around with mocktails and I think this might be one of my faves! 

Here’s the how to:

1/2 cup pineapple chunks
Juice of 2 blood oranges
1-2 tsps raw honey
1/2 cup coconut milk
Sparkling water
Ice

In a glass or cocktail shaker, add the pineapple, blood orange juice and honey. Muddle until the pineapple is mashed.

Pour in the coconut milk and stir. With a fine mesh sieve or strainer, place on top of a glass and pour about half of the pineapple mixture into it and use a spoon to get the juices out. Repeat with another glass.

Add ice to the glass and top with sparkling water. Garnish with a slice of blood orange. 

Enjoy! 💛 

* you can add a pinch of sea salt
* you can eat the muddled fruit or add a tsp or 2 to your drink!
* use pineapple juice if you prefer

PRODUCT SWAPS PART 3: Cooking! Ok ok this one is PRODUCT SWAPS PART 3: Cooking!

Ok ok this one is definitely a favourite for me! 👩🏻‍🍳

Let’s take a moment to appreciate the spices section @naturescanada 😍 I mean, what don’t they have? Having so many amazing options to choose from makes me feel confident I’m making healthy choices for me and my fam. 🤗 

So let’s dive right in.

Cooking oils - I know this is a hot topic but these are the things I cook with. Greeks (like me lol) have been using olive oil forevvveeerrr so I’m going to also use it foreva because it’s a part of my culture. 😉 Avocado oil, coconut oil, grass-fed butter and ghee. When buying olive oil and avocado oil, look for darker glass bottles to prevent oxidation. Also, don’t be afraid of butter! 🤗 Grass-fed butter is packed with healthy fats and fat soluble vitamins. Ghee is great too. Ghee is made by melting butter. It gets separated into liquid fats and milk solids. The milk solids get removed and then voila you have ghee! 

I personally don’t buy vegetable oils like canola, sunflower oil, etc. They are highly refined and processed and just no bueno for me. 🙅🏻‍♀️

Spices - make sure to read labels! You would I be surprised at what gets added to spices. If you’re buying dried dill, the ingredients should just be dill. 

Salt - same thing as spices…there should only be salt as the ingredient no fillers or any other nonsense! I’m a big fan of @redmondrealsalt ! 

As always, let me know if you have any questions. 🤗
