Indian Spice Cauliflower

This recipe is from a good friend of ours, Karen, who brought this to one of our 4Leaf parties. With its many Indian spices, this dish is delicious, not to mention super easy to make!

Ingredients:

  • 4 large cloves of garlic, chopped
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon cardamom*
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon curry powder

  • 4 Tablespoons of dried currants or raisins
  • 8 cups cauliflower chopped, or about 1 1/2 – 2 heads
  • 4 cups chopped tomatoes
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
  • 4 Tablespoons dry red wine
  • 3 cups green beans, ends cut and then cut in half
  • whole grain optional

* Cardamom is expensive but worth the flavor. You can substitute cinnamon.

Directions:

  1. Place a large pan on medium and saute the onion and garlic until soft in water or liquid of choice
  2. Add the spices, salt and currants or raisins and mix.
  3. Add the cauliflower, chopped tomatoes and ginger root. Simmer, covered, over low heat until cauliflower is tender, about 15 minutes.
