Like many of our favorite eggplant recipes, the flavor of this woodsy dip relies comes from cooking eggplants on a grill or a gas stovetop until the skin blackens and the flesh collapses in on itself.

Choose the largest head of cauliflower you can find. When you cut into it, keep in mind that the two center pieces will stay together, but the two end pieces may fall apart into florets and that’s okay—you should still grill those too! This recipe also easily doubles if you want four solid cauliflower steaks.
