Cauliflower with Scallions
Ingredients
- 3 Tbs (45 ml) vegetable oil
- 1/2 tsp (2 ml) black or yellow mustard seeds
- 1/2 tsp (2 ml) turmeric
- 1/4 tsp (1 ml) cayenne pepper, or to taste
- 12 - 15 scallions, green and white parts, cut into
- 1/2-inch (1 cm) pieces
- 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into small flowerets
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) water
- Salt to taste
Instructions
Serves 4 to 6.. Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat until very hot. Add the mustard seeds and saute for 15 seconds, covering the skillet to avoid splatters of hot oil from the popping of the seeds. Add the turmeric, cayenne, and scallions, stirring for 15 seconds. Add the cauliflower and water and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low and simmer covered until the cauliflower is tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium, stirring constantly until all of the liquid has evaporated and the cauliflower is lightly browned. Serve immediately.
