Cabbage Steak with Mashed Potatoes & Mushroom Gravy

Laurie tried out some new recipes for dinner when we stopped by on our way back from our Nebraska road trip -- and it was delicious! Who'da thought that cabbage could make such a good steak? The mushroom gravy, with finely chopped mushrooms and coconut cream and nutritional yeast, was a perfect, rich complement to the potatoes and cabbage. She used green cabbage; I've tried green and purple, and also cauliflower. All yum! The mushroom gravy ties it all together.

Ingredients

1 cabbage, green or purple
Canola oil for brushing
garlic powder 
red pepper flakes
black pepper to taste
salt to taste
lemon juice (to squeeze on top after)

Gravy:
Mushrooms, 8-10 oz
1/2 C onion 
2 T canola oil 
3 cloves garlic, minced
red pepper flakes 
salt & pepper to taste
1/2 C nutritional yeast

1 C coconut cream (can freeze other half can)
or
Cashew sauce (make in blender):
1/2 C cashews
2/3 C water
2 T olive oil
1 T lemon juice
1 garlic clove
1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

Make mashed (cauliflower) potatoes before, during, or after the following :)

Cabbage steaks: Slide the cabbage into 3/4 inch thick steaks. Brush them with oil, and sprinkle garlic, paprika, pepper flakes, salt & pepper on both sides, to taste. Arrange on cookie sheet (see below) and roast in the oven on 350 degrees for 50 minutes. Remove and squeeze some lemon on top before serving.

Mushroom gravy: Finely chop the mushrooms (and onion, if using), and saute in oil with garlic, salt, and pepper. Turn down the heat, add the coconut or cashew cream and nutritional yeast, and cook another half hour. Serve over mashed cauliflower potatoes!
Also good w/ purple cabbage (cauliflower steak, too)
