2 medium parsnips, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 medium yellow onion, cut into 8 wedges
4 cloves garlic, smashed
3 sprigs fresh thyme
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 bay leaves

For the braising liquid

1 cup dry red wine (vegan-certified)
2 cups vegetable broth
2 tbsp tomato paste

1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt, plus more to taste

Instructions

1
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place the cauliflower head stem-side down in the skillet and sear, undisturbed, for 3–4 minutes until the flat base is deep golden brown. Flip and sear the top for 2 minutes until lightly browned, then transfer to a plate.

Add the portobello caps gill-side down to the same skillet and sear over medium-high heat for 2–3 minutes until browned on the underside, then flip and cook 1 minute more. Transfer to the plate with the cauliflower.
