How Maurice does it
- 1
Cut the cauliflower in half through the stem, then slice each half into thick steaks (about 2 cm thick).
- 2
In a shallow dish, combine the diced onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, curry powder, chili flakes, olive oil, white wine vinegar, and salt. Mix well.
- 3
Add the cauliflower steaks to the marinade and coat thoroughly on all sides. Let marinate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight in the fridge).
- 4
Heat a grill or heavy pan over medium-high heat. Add butter and a drizzle of olive oil.
- 5
Place the marinated cauliflower steaks on the hot grill or pan. Cook for 10 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for 8 minutes on the other side, until nicely charred and firm inside.

Remove the cauliflower from the heat and transfer to a cutting board. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top.
- 7
Serve hot, optionally with the grilled onions and a glass of red wine.
