Method
- Light the barbecue.
- Put the vinegar, sugar, a pinch of salt and 3 tbsp of water into a small saucepan and heat until steaming. Take off the heat, add the sliced red onion and set aside to pickle for 15 mins, stirring occasionally. Drain well.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl mix the spices and olive oil, season with salt and black pepper and brush all over the cauliflower steaks.
- Place on the barbecue, towards the outside of the grill where it’s slightly less hot. If using a gas barbecue, cook on the medium setting.
- Put the BBQ sauce into the same bowl that the spiced oil was in and loosen with 1 tbsp warm water.
- Cook the cauliflower for 6-8 mins on each side, rotating after 4 mins to get crosshatch markings. Once the cauliflower is well-charred and tender, brush with the BBQ sauce, flip and coat the other side as well. Cook for 1 min more. Carefully lift onto a tray, then firmly press the crispy onions onto the cauliflower.
- Once the cauliflower steaks are almost done, toast the rolls, cut side down, on the barbecue for 1-2 mins. Remove from the grill and quickly add cheese to one half of each roll so that it starts to melt.
- Assemble the burgers with the lettuce, garlic mayo, crispy cauliflower and cheesy bun, then heap with the pickled red onions before serving.
Tip: If cooking inside, griddle the cauliflower on a high heat for 2-3 mins each side until visible char lines appear. Brush with the BBQ sauce and press on the crispy onions and bake in a preheated oven for 10-15 mins until cooked through.
