This traditional Goan recipe of vindaloo is for all the vegetarians who have wanted to try the vindaloo curry but never knew as to what would be a good substitute for  meat. I got inspired to do this recipe after watching the Living Well Network. Since tomato was used as the base for the recipe I decided to add a bit of spice but making it with Vindaloo Masala .

This recipe works  more as a entrée’ then as a side. If you are a converted vegetarian or vegan than you can add the typical side of a good steak like I did, mashed potatoes and spiced caramelized onions. This is surely to be vegetarian heaven if I may say so.

Do note that you will need a large shallow pan so to easily lay the cauliflower steaks. It’s the most easiest of all recipe perfect for the busy weeknight or lazy weekends.
