Cauliflower Steak & Celeriac Mash

Cauliflower Steak & Celeriac Mash

Last Valentines Day my husband surprised me by making dinner. He had watched a video by Nikki Vegan, from The Vegan View, and made this AMAZING cauliflower steak and creamy mashed potatoes. I saved up my protein intake that whole day because I knew he would probably make something a little high in protein, good thing I did because I’d be lying if I said I didn’t go over a bit that day.

Ever since he made me that dish I’ve had him make it over and over again, and yes, I would save up my protein intake for this dish. Recently, I’ve been wanting it again especially because I’m trying to lose a bit of weight but eat hearty. I wanted to figure out a way I could have this without worrying so much about the protein. That’s when it came to me, celeriac root! I love this as a potato alternative! I make fries out of it and thought if it made a good fry it must make a good mashed potato…I mean…celeriac.

Cauliflower Ingredients

  • 354g Cauliflower
  • .5 Tsp Cayenne (I added a little more because I like a little heat and the sauce balances it out.)
  • 1 Tsp Salt
  • 1 Tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 Tbs Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Celeriac Mash Ingredients

  • 572g Celeriac Root
  • 1 Tbs Vegan Butter
  • .5 Tsp Salt (I use Pink Himalayan Salt)

Sauce Ingredients

  • 1 Tbs Dijon Mustard
  • .5 Tbs Maple Syrup (I use the Trader Joe’s Maple Agave Syrup)

Directions

  1. Pre-heat your oven to 400 degree’s F.
  2. Wash and cut your cauliflower. You want to cut the leaves off and make sure to keep a root trimmed. The root holds the cauliflower steak together. Cut from head to root, vertically. You should be able to get two full ‘steaks’. (Note: The ends might not hold together but that’s ok! It’ll still taste the same!)
  3. Once your cauliflower is prepped place the pieces on a lined baking sheet. in a bowl mix all the spices. Brush your cauliflower with the olive oil on both sides and make sure to generously sprinkle with the spice blend.
  4. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, take it out, flip them, and bake for another 8 minutes.
  5. Peel, cut, and then boil your celeriac root until fork tender. Once it is fork tender, drain it and then blend the until smooth. Pour it into a pan and incorporate the butter and salt into the mash.
  6. Once everything is done and ready, mix up your sauce.
  7. All that’s left to do is plate the mash, cauliflower, and top it with the sauce.
