Cooking Instructions

  1. To make the cauliflower steaks, heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat, then fry the steaks for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Season to taste.
  2. Place the cauliflower and broccoli in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until fine, resembling the texture of rice.
  3. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and sauté the leeks and garlic until translucent and fragrant.
  4. Stir in the cauliflower and broccoli, cook for another 2 minutes.
  5. Add in the stock and almond milk and cook for a further 5 minutes until most of the liquid has evaporated but the risotto retains some texture.
  6. Serve the risotto with a drizzle of basil pesto. Garnish with pumpkin seeds and serve with Cauliflower steak.
