Instructions

To make the chimichurri sauce

Mix all the chimichurri ingredients together in a bowl and place to one side.
(We start by making the chimichuri sauce to give it time for the flavours to meld while the rest of the dish cooks.)

To roast the cauliflower steaks

Pre-heat your oven to 220 C / 428 F /gas 7.
Starting with the middle part of the cauliflower (as it's the largest), cut the cauliflower into two 1-inch steaks.
Rub both sides of the steaks with the olive oil and season well.
Place them on to a baking tray and roast for 10 minutes or until the edges start to turn brown, flip them over and roast for another 20 minutes.

To make the sweet potato mash

Bring a ban of water to the boil.
Add the cubes of sweet potato and a large pinch of salt.
Boil the sweet potato for 10 minutes or until it's tender.
Drain the sweet potato well and place the colander over the empty (but still hot) saucepan to let them steam dry.
Once they are dry, return them to the pan and add the non-dairy butter.
Mash until smooth and creamy and all of the butter has melted into the mash.
Season well.
You are now ready to serve!
