How To: Cook curried cauliflower steaks with raisin chutney

Just because it says "steaks" doesn't mean there's any meat here. Unlike most dishes that call for cauliflower, this one creatively slices the cauliflower into "steak" slabs instead of the usual separated florets. You won't believe your eyes! Or your mouth! This is the perfect side dish to liven things up.

Madras curry powder lends a smooth pepper-ginger-chili flavor and an easy-to-assemble raisin chutney with half a jalapeno - or more if you like the heat - is the perfect sweet and tangy accompaniment. Plate family-style and prove that cauliflower can be beautiful!
