Ingredients for Grilled Cauliflower
6 medium cauliflower floret planks
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
Directions:
Using large florets, slice off each side to make them flat like a plank. Steam or poach to soften for a couple minutes, making sure to not overcook or they will be too soft.
Coat the steamed cauliflower planks with oil, salt and pepper and place on the grill with the kabob.
Once the cauliflower is caramelized and lightly charred, arrange them on the plated labneh.
