Ingredients

For the cauliflower:

  • 1 medium head cauliflower trimmed and cut into 1-inch thick "steaks"
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

For the sauce:

  • 4 tablespoons vegan butter
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1/2 cup vegan chicken-style broth
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon parsley minced, plus additional for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon capers
  • 2 teaspoons creamy Dijon mustard
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

For the cauliflower:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Place cauliflower onto the baking sheet. Lightly brush each with olive oil then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake 20 minutes, until edges are golden brown.

For the sauce:

  • While the cauliflower is in the oven, set a small saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Add the butter and when the butter is melted, pour in the wine and broth. Bring to a boil and cook for 3 minutes.
  • Turn the heat down to low, then add in the lemon juice, parsley, capers, mustard, and pepper. Whisk thoroughly to remove any clumps of mustard. Continue cooking for an additional 3 minutes.

To serve:

  • Use a wide spatula to carefully transfer the cauliflower to serving plates. Spoon sauce over the cauliflower, garnish with additional parsley and serve hot.
