cauliflower steak pizza

Serves: 2 

Total cooking time: 14 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 small cauliflower – cut so that you get at least two large “steaks” of cauliflower
  • 2 generous tablespoons of vegan red pesto
  • 1 tablespoon tomato puree
  • 10 black olives - halved
  • 50g Applewood smoked vegan cheese – grated
  • Fresh basil finely sliced
  1. Firstly, ensure your steam cavity is filled with fresh water, is clean and ready to go. For this recipe you need the perforated tray and the solid tray.
  2. Place the cauliflower steaks onto the perforated tray and cook at 100° steam for:
    1. 10 mins (Built-in steam cavity)
    2. 8 minutes (Nexus steam cavity)
  3. Mix the red pesto and tomato puree together.
  4. When the cauliflower has finished steaming remove it from the cavity. Transfer the cauliflower steaks onto the solid steam tray.
  5. Spread the tomato mixture onto the top of the steaks and then add 10 olive halves onto each one then sprinkle over the grated cheese.
  6. Place the solid tray onto the runner in position 2 (the second row down from the top) and close the door.
  7. Set the cavity to  Grill 200° for 5 minutes. If your pieces of cauliflower are quite thick then only set the grill time for 4 minutes and press start.
  8. Remove, immediately, from the cavity when the time is up.
  9. Sprinkle over the finely chopped basil and enjoy hot or warm.
