Introduction

This is my variation on a recipe in Kevin Mills' cookbook "Faster! I'm Starving!" It only takes about 20 minutes total to prepare and it's super yummy. The cauliflower is tender, but still firm -- not mushy like it gets when you boil or steam it. If you want to change the spice mix, just be sure you use other warm spices.

Ingredients

    1 small head (or 1/2 large head) cauliflower
    1 medium onion
    3 cloves garlic
    1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
    1 teaspoon curry powder
    1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
    1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

Rinse cauliflower, remove and discard outer leaves and core, and cut into bite size pieces. Peel onion, cut it in half lengthwise, then cut it into slices. Peel garlic, then shred finely. Pour oil into a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add cauliflower, onions and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally until cauliflower starts to brown. Turn heat to medium low, cover and cook undisturbed for five minutes. While cauliflower is cooking, combine spices thoroughly. When the five minutes are up, remove cover and sprinkle spices over the cauliflower. Stir-fry vigorously for one more minute to evenly distribute spices. Serve. This recipe makes 4 servings as a side dish, or two servings as a vegetarian main course.
