Ingredients

  • TZATZIKI SAUCE:
  • 3/4 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt 

  • 1/4 cup sour cream 

  • 1 tbsp. lemon juice

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt 

  • 1/2 medium cucumber, seeded and grated

  • RICE & CAULIFLOWER STEAKS:
  • 1 cup red rice or 1 cup brown basmati rice

  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive

  • 1 tbsp. lemon juice

  • 2 tsp. curry powder

  • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt

  • 2 medium heads of cauliflower

  • 2 tbsp. of fresh cilantro

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 450°F and line a large baking sheet with foil.

  • For the Tzatziki, whisk together the yogurt, sour cream, lemon juice, garlic, end salt in a medium bowl. Once combined, fold in the cucumber, and then refrigerate. 

  • Prepare rice according to package instruction, and keep warm. 

  • While rice is cooking, whisk together the olive oiL lemon juice, curry powder, and salt in a small bowl. 

  • Remove the outer leaves from each cauliflower but be sure to keep the stem intact. Place on a large cutting board, stem side down. Using a large knife, cut two 1 inch thick slices from the center of each head to make 4 cauliflower ‘”steaks.” Cut up the remaining cauliflower into florets to get about 4 cups. Place the steaks and florets on baking sheet in a single layer and brush both sides with the curry mixture. 

  • Place in oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, turning gently halfway through so cauliflower cooks evenly. 

  • Divide the rice among 4 plates and top with the cauliflower steaks. Spoon about ¼ cup of tzatziki onto the steaks, and garnish plate with remaining cauliflower florets and cilantro. Enjoy!
