cauliflower steaks with romesco sauce and rocket on ciabata bread

Cauliflower and romesco sauce ciabatta

This sandwich has been trending online for a while now - and for good reason - it is delicious! The almonds in the romesco sauce and the baked cauliflower steak produce a creaminess that is rare to find in vegan sandwiches, and the red peppers and rocket cut through it for a perfect balance.
