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.

COCONUT CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Coat the bottom of a thick bottomed skillet with vegetable oil.
• When hot, add the cauliflower florets and fry them until brown, taking care not to burn them.
• Pour in the coconut milk and stir in the curry paste until well integrated.
• Simmer gently until the coconut milk is thick and creamy, about 10 minutes.
• Just before serving add the cilantro and salt to taste.
• Note: I recommend freezing any extra curry paste you might have left over; it seems to keep almost indefinitely.
