Method
step 1
Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a frying pan and cook the onions and peppers for 7-10 minutes or until soft and golden. Add the saffron with 150ml water and bubble for 30 seconds, then tip into a food processor with the bread, almonds, harissa, lemon juice and some seasoning. Pulse to a rough paste, then tip into a pan and keep warm.
step 2
Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6 and heat a frying pan over a high heat until very hot. Rub the cauliflower steaks with another tbsp of oil and char for 2 minutes on each side. Transfer the steaks to a roasting tray and roast for 20 minutes or until tender.
step 3
Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan, crack in the eggs and cook until crispy. Spread the romesco sauce over 2 plates and top with the cauliflower steaks and fried eggs. Scatter over the almonds and parsley before serving.
