Steps:
- Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high.
- Add the cauliflower, olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to a large mixing bowl. Toss to coat the cauliflower. Transfer to a grill basket and grill, tossing occasionally, until the cauliflower is charred in places and softened, about 10 minutes. (This can alternatively be done on an indoor grill pan.)
- Transfer the grilled cauliflower to the serving bowl with the Cilantro Pesto and toss to coat.
- Garnish with Cotija cheese and cilantro. Serve immediately or at room temperature.
- Add the olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, pepper flakes and garlic to a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Pulse together until the garlic is finely chopped. Next, add the cilantro and blend until smooth. Add the cashews and Cotija cheese and pulse until the mixture becomes a thick paste and is evenly combined. Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl and set aside until the cauliflower is grilled.
BAKED GRILLED CHEESE PESTO SANDWICHES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 F. Spread the butter on only one side of each slice of the bread, spreading more thickly around the edges and less in the center. This will prevent the edges from burning before the center is crisp.
- Place half of the bread slices, buttered side down, on the work surface. Top each piece of bread with a slice of cheese, a tablespoon of pesto, then another slice of cheese. Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side up.
- Place the sandwiches on heavy-duty jelly roll pan.
- Bake for 4 minutes, then remove the pan from the oven. Immediately turn the oven up to 450 F. Carefully turn the sandwiches using a large spatula.
- Bake for another 3 to 4 minutes, watching the sandwiches carefully until the bread is toasted and crisp and the cheese is melted.
- The first time you flip these sandwiches, they won't look done at all - the bread will be only slightly brown. But when the sandwiches are done, they will be beautifully crisp and brown on both sides. Serve immediately.
