Ingredients

  • Tzatziki:
  • 3/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp. lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 medium cucumber, seeded and grated
  • Rice & Cauliflower Steaks:
  • 1 cup red rice
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1 tbsp. lemon juice
  • 2 tsp curry powder
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 medium heads cauliflower
  • 2 tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

  1. To prepare tzatziki: Whisk yogurt, sour cream, lemon juice, garlic and salt in a medium bowl until smooth. Fold in cucumber. Refrigerate.

  2. To prepare rice & cauliflower: Preheat oven to 450. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil.

  3. Prepare rice as directed. Keep warm.

  4. Meanwhile, whisk oil, lemon juice, curry powder and salt in a small bowl.

  5. Remove any outer leaves from cauliflower, but keep stems intact. Place on a cutting board, stem-side down. Using a large chef’s knife, cut two 1-inch-thick slices from the center of each head to make 4 cauliflower “steaks.” Cut enough of the remaining cauliflower into 3/4-inch florets to get 4 cups. Place the steaks and florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Brush both sides with the curry mixture.

  6. Roast, gently turning halfway through, until the florets are lightly browned and the cauliflower steak stems are tender, 30-35 minutes.

  7. Refrigerate the florets and 6 tbsp. tzatziki for lunch.

  8. Divide the rice among 4 plates and top each portion with a cauliflower steak, 1/4 cup tzatziki and a sprinkle of cilantro.
