Method

  1. Cut 2 x 2-3cm slices from the centre of each cauliflower, keeping the core intact. Save any trimmings to use at a later date. 
  2. Divide the cornflour, soya milk and breadcrumbs between 3 separate bowls. Dip each cauliflower steak in the cornflour, followed by the soya milk and finally the breadcrumbs until evenly coated. Set aside on a plate.
  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan and, working in batches if necessary, fry the cauliflower steaks for 3-4 mins on each side until golden and crisp. Season. 
  4. For the garlic oil, warm the olive oil in a small pan with the garlic for 10 mins over a low heat until softened. Remove from the heat and stir through the lemon zest and parsley. 
  5. Serve the cauliflower schnitzel topped with the warm garlic oil. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
