Vegan Cauliflower Steaks with Mushroom Gravy

Recipe Description

I’ve been making Vegan Cauliflower Steaks with Mushroom Gravy for Thanksgiving dinner for the past few years and it always goes down a treat, even with meat eaters! I usually cook a variety of dishes for Thanksgiving dinner and the great thing about eating plant based food is that you don’t get full quickly, so you can try lots of different things.

This recipe serves two so depending how big your crowd is, you might want to increase the ingredients. The secret to this recipe is the mushroom gravy – it is flavorful from the combination of herbs and liquid aminos. Coconut milk gives it a creaminess that really lifts the humble cauliflower.

To make my Cauliflower Steaks with Mushroom Gravy, you will need the following ingredients:
