Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Wash and cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Set aside.
    1 large head of cauliflower or 2 small
  • Dice the onion and mix with the olive oil, curry, garam masala, red pepper, garlic and black pepper.
    1 red onion, 2 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon curry powder, 1 teaspoon garam masala, ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, 3-4 cloves of garlic minced
  • Toss the cauliflower with the onion mixture and spread on a large cookie sheet. Sprinkle with kosher salt. Roast for 30 minutes.
    1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • While the cauliflower is roasting, put the frozen peas cilantro and ginger in a bowl large enough to hold the entire recipe so you can toss.
    1 cup frozen peas, 1 large handful of fresh cilantro chopped, 1 inch of ginger root grated
  • When the cauliflower is done, toss it with the frozen peas, cilantro, and ginger.
  • Be sure to get all the yummy diced onion off the cookie sheet!

Notes

  • This is fantastic at room temperature, and it gets better as the flavors sit together. I like to make it the night before and then pull it out a few hours before serving so it has time to get rid of the fridge chill.
  • I used ½ the oil the original recipe called for. I don't think it needs it and I'd rather keep calories and fat lower.
  • The flavors in this are Indian inspired. The original recipe called for fennel as well but I'm not a big fan, so I skip it.
