• 2 cups (300g) cashews

• 1/8 teaspoon Pink Himalayan salt (optional)

For paprika cashew cream sauce:

• 1/2 – 2/3 cup cashew butter made with the NutraMilk

• 1 tsp smoked paprika

• Pinch of cayenne

• 1/2 tsp minced garlic

• Ground black pepper, salt to taste

• 1– 2 tsp of fresh lemon juice

For Cauliflower

• 1 cauliflower head

• 1 cup cherry tomatoes (cut in half)

• 1/4 cup raisins

INSTRUCTIONS

• Making cashew butter

• Place cashews and salt in the NutraMilk container.

• Press Butter cycle, set for 5-6 minutes.

• Press Start.

• Open the container lid.

• If necessary, set for an additional 1-2 minutes for a creamier butter.

• Leave ½ cup of cashew butter and take out the rest to store for later use.

• Next make your paprika Cashew Cream- Add paprika, cayenne, garlic, salt/pepper, lemon to the NutraMilk with the ½ cup cashew butter and press Mix for one minute or until smooth. If you want to sweeten the sauce you can add 1 tsp of honey or maple syrup. Add more cashew butter or water to obtain the consistency you desire.

• Preparing cauliflower steaks- Remove the outer leaves from each cauliflower head. Cut off the bottom stem end so that you create a flat base and can stand the cauliflower up on a cutting board. Resting the cauliflower on the stem, use a large, sharp knife to trim away the sides, then cut the remaining head into 2 very thick or 3 more moderate "steaks." Reserve the side florets for another use.

• Brush sides of each steaks with olive oil and place on grill and cook until tender and bottom begins to char (about 6-8 minutes on each side).

• In a small skillets heat olive oil over and toss in cherry tomatoes and raisins and cook over low heat between 10-12 minutes.

• Remove cauliflower steaks from grill and serve with tomatoes, raisins and paprika cashew cream sauce. Enjoy!
