Step by Step guide

Step 1

Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower, keeping the florets intact. Place the head of cauliflower on a work surface. Starting from the center, cut the cauliflower into 4 slices, each about 1 cm thick (if any florets fall off, set them aside).

Step 2

Preheat the grill to medium heat. Lightly oil the grill grate. Drizzle the cauliflower slices, florets, and shallot with 4 tablespoons of oil, and season with salt and pepper. Grill the shallot, turning occasionally, for about 2 minutes until lightly charred in some spots. Grill the cauliflower slices for 8-10 minutes on each side until tender and charred in some areas. Grill the cauliflower florets that fell off during cutting for 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Sauce: Blend the ginger, garlic, cilantro, and lime juice with the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a blender; blend until the mixture reaches a yogurt-like consistency, adding water if necessary.
