Roasted red pepper sauce combines tomatoes, roasted or grilled red peppers, oil, walnuts, vinegar, and herbs.

This simple, delicious, and flavorful sauce is similar to Romanesco sauce – and tastes great on tons of dishes.

It is also a great way to add a ton more flavor to dishes without adding tons of calories, fat, or carbs!

This delicious roasted red pepper sauce is a snap to make at home – and tastes great on tons of pasta, vegetable, meat, and fish dishes!

For this recipe we will be roasting our own red peppers – but you can use jarred roasted red peppers, too.

Place the peppers, tomatoes, walnuts and garlic in a food processor and pulse until chunky.

Add the red wine vinegar, parsley, salt, pepper and paprika and pulse while drizzling in the olive oil.

Continue pulsing until the sauce reaches the consistency of your liking – some like it a bit chunky, some smooth.

Cauliflower “steaks” are a simple and easy way to prepare cauliflower – and they are fun to eat!

Rinse the cauliflower and cut off the hard stem at the bottom of the heat, making sure to leave the core intact.

Remove any leftover leaves from the stem.

Place the cauliflower on your cutting board, cut side down, and make vertical slices into the cauliflower to make “steaks.”

You’ll get 3-4 intact steaks from the cauliflower that have the center core and the rest will most likely come apart into large florets.

All of these pieces can be grilled, so save anything you think will be large enough to grill.

Reserve any remaining small pieces of cauliflower for roasting, crudite, cauliflower rice, etc. 

To make cauliflower steaks, it’s easy to infuse a ton of flavor through marinating and grilling or roasting your vegetable “steaks”.

I’ll be sharing how to cook “steaks” on a grill, or in an oven, below.

No matter how to prepare these cauliflower steaks, you’ll want to marinate them first to pull out the most flavor.

• In a bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper.
• Gently toss the cauliflower steaks/florets in the lemon oil mixture and allow it to marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

• Preheat your grill to medium high heat. Place your cauliflower steaks/florets onto the grill.
• Toss the red pepper and tomatoes in any residual marinade and place them on the grill as well.
• Grill the cauliflower for a minute and flip them over.
• Repeat this until they begin to soften and are nicely grilled on the outside.

• Preheat your oven – with heavy cast iron pan or griddle pan inside oven – to 400 degrees.
• Once oven and pan are scorching hot, place your cauliflower steaks/florets onto a heavy cast iron pan or griddle pan.
• Toss the red pepper and tomatoes in any residual marinade and place them in the skillet as well.
• Roast the cauliflower for 5 minutes, and flip them over to roast for another 5.
• Repeat this until they begin to soften and are nicely charred on the outside.
