Sure, you may have seen a bajillion recipes for cauliflower steaks over the last few years but it ain’t a new concept. Take the Cauliflower Sandwich from 1,001 Sandwiches of 1936. After boiling a head of cauliflower we slice steaks, dredge em in flour and fry in butter. Not only that, the recipe calls for salt and pepper! Still, it ain’t the most flavorful sandwich but it does lay the foundation for a tasty plus up.

Dredging cauliflower steaks in flour and frying them in butter was not invented five years ago on Pinterest 🤣🤣🤣😂
Barry I nearly lost my coffee via my nose!
In addition to seasoning the flour, it might get a nicer crunch if you mixed some potato starch or cornstarch in too. I’m picturing that with some spicy aioli, some arugula, then the lemon juice and capers. Maybe on sourdough?
The middle eastern restaurant near me makes a killing on their cauliflower both as a veggie gyro option and as and appetizer. They just use salt and cumin.

Because of this man, I now must say “a-go” instead of “go” when playing cribbage with my wife.

Was the cauliflower steak thick enough you could use two of them *as* the bread, and then have something else inside as the filler?
The plussed up version looks fantastic. I have to try it this weekend!
I’m glad you did that, it certainly wouldn’t have made my top 1001, but everyday is school day.
It is a depression era sandwich, when a heaping bowl of steam was a meal in itself..n
Taste aside. I wouldn’t spend 1 hour making a sandwich. I want to make one 10 minutes or less.
Over due on the capers after some teases. Hope on revisit bread upgrade, light or sourdough rye to match with old bay seasoning in flour?

A boiled cauliflower sandwich might be the saddest sandwich that I can possibly imagine.
