These curried cauliflower steaks were so flavourful! If you’re new to a vegan diet, you may be shocked by the versatility of cauliflower. This delicious and healthy vegetable can be used to make anything from “wings” to soup! You can feel good about the recipes you make with it too. Cauliflower has so many health benefits! It’s high in fibre and B vitamins – just to mention a couple of them. It’s a vegetable we incorporate more and more into our recipes! Check out some of our other cauliflower recipes here!

We spiced this cauliflower steak up using a mix of spices and curry paste. Then we served this hearty, flavourful steak overtop of fresh sautéed veggies and fluffy basmati rice. It felt like the dish would be too dry without some sort of sauce to bring it all together so we whipped up a creamy cucumber yogurt style sauce to top it all off! All around this dish is super healthy, made with whole food ingredients and is super easy to make! We hope you and your family enjoy these curried cauliflower steaks as much as we did!
