---

This Griddled Cabbage with Puy Lentils and Romesco Sauce is my new go to for a vegan friendly sharing plate. Cauliflower steaks were everywhere over the past year but have you ever tried a cabbage steak? They’re super cost effective, taste delicious when caramelised on the grill and go so well with this delicious romesco sauce. Seriously, the romesco sauce with grilled peppers is one of my favourite recipes ever, seriously you have to try it – and put it on EVERYTHING!
