CURRIED CAULIFLOWER OR ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• In a large skillet, melt margarine. Add diced vegetables, onion, green pepper and Jalapeno peppers, cook at medium heat, uncovered, for ten minutes.
• If using cauliflower, divide florets, halve, cut up stems and add to onion mixture. Otherwise add zucchini at this point.
• Cook covered at medium heat for 15 minutes.
• OPTIONAL: If desired add cubed potatoes 5 minutes after the cauliflower or zucchini.
• Add Masala and cayenne pepper. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes.
• Serve.

CURRY SPICED WHOLE ROASTED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• For the cauliflower: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Heat the butter and olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat until the butter melts. Add the garlic and curry powder and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Make a small foil ring wide enough to hold up the base of the cauliflower a little. Put the foil ring in a large saute pan and place the cauliflower on top. Season the cauliflower with salt and pepper. Pour all but 1/4 cup of the curry butter over the cauliflower. Roast the cauliflower for 10 minutes, then baste with some of the curry butter on the bottom of the pan. Continue to roast and baste until the cauliflower is tender, about 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the almonds and raisins to the remaining curry butter in the saucepan and cook over medium heat until the nuts are toasted and the raisins are plump, about 3 minutes. Stir in the lime juice.
• Remove the cauliflower to a serving platter and drizzle with any remaining butter from the saute pan. Top with the nut, raisin and curry butter mixture and sprinkle with the lime zest.
• For the yogurt-tahini sauce: Whisk together the yogurt, olive oil, tahini, dill, cumin, garlic and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• Drizzle the cauliflower with the yogurt-tahini sauce and garnish with the cilantro, mint and chiles.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER & ZUCCHINI RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• In a large saute pan or skillet, melt the coconut oil at medium-high heat. Add the cauliflower in first, moving often, and sauté for a few minutes or until the cauliflower has a little color to it. Cauliflower takes longer than zucchini, so we need to give it a head start. Next add the zucchini, garlic and spices. Toss to bring everything together and continue to sauté for another 7 minutes or so. Really just until the zucchini has softened and taken on some color too. If you're not a seasoned cook, you'll learn to cook with your nose, not just your eyes. You can smell when garlic is still raw, when it is at its sweet spot and when it has crossed over into burnt and bitter. Obviously we're aiming for the sweet spot! When your veggies look like this, you're done! Transfer to a serving dish and top with some fresh chopped Italian flat-leaf parsley, if you feel like it.
