Cut off the leaves and the cauliflower stem. Cut the cauliflower into 1-1.5 inch 'steaks', starting from the edge. Either save any of the smaller florets that fall away to use in a different recipe, or brush them with the sauce and prepare them as you would the larger steaks.
1 large head cauliflower
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, dried thyme, garlic and mustard.
Brush one side of each cauliflower steaks with the sauce, and lay them out in a large frying pan. Do not overcrowd - it may be necessary to work in batches.
Cook for around 5-6 minutes, then brush the other side, flip and continue cooking for 5 minutes more. They should be crispy, lightly golden, and fork-tender.
Make the tomato sauce. Heat the olive oil in a large pan, then add the onion and tomato paste. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until softened. Now add the canned tomatoes and tamari, cooking for 5 minutes more.
1 tbsp olive oil, 1 large onion, 2 tbsp tomato paste, 1 can tomatoes, 2 tbsp tamari
