Colombian Cauliflower Steaks with Chimichurri Crema

This fresh take on a classic Colombian dish swaps beef steak for cauliflower “steak”, offering a lighter, yet still deliciously satisfying dish that’s fun to share with vegans and carnivores alike. Widely considered an Argentinian condiment, chimichurri is also popular in Colombia, where the addition of cilantro gives an extra kick of flavor to this already zesty sauce. You’ll find those same punchy flavors in this avocado crema, which lends a creamy component to the dish, as well as a boost of heart-healthy unsaturated fat. Cauliflower is rich in vitamin C, fiber, antioxidants, choline and sulfur, which has a detoxifying effect on the body. If you have access to a grill, you can also grill the cauliflower steaks over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes per side.
