Ingredients:
1 large head of cauliflower, cut into 1-inch thick steaks
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh oregano, chopped
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

Make the Chimichurri Sauce | In a small bowl, combine chopped parsley, oregano, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, and lemon juice. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble the Dish | Once the cauliflower steaks are cooked, place them on a serving plate. Spoon the chimichurri sauce generously over the steaks.
Garnish and Serve | Sprinkle with hemp hearts for added crunch and nutrition. Serve immediately and enjoy your hearty, flavorful cauliflower steaks!
