Curried Cauliflower Or Zucchini Recipes

CURRIED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place cauliflower in a steamer over 1 inch of boiling water, and cover. Cook until tender but still firm. Drain, and place in a greased casserole dish.
• In a large bowl, mix together soup, mayonnaise, milk, and curry powder. Pour over cauliflower. Crush crackers, and mix with butter. Sprinkle over cauliflower.
• Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes.

CURRIED CAULIFLOWER WITH CHICKPEAS AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Heat the ghee in a deep skillet or pot over medium flame. Add the onion, curry powder, and ginger; cook and stir for a few minutes to soften the onion. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring, until the tomatoes break down and soften, about 6 minutes. Mix in the cauliflower, chickpeas, tomato paste, and 1 cup of water; stir everything together. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the cauliflower is tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Uncover, and continue cooking until the excess moisture has evaporated and the cauliflower and chickpeas are coated with a thick gravy. Season with salt, to taste, and garnish with cilantro before serving.
• Put the butter in a heavy saucepan over moderate heat, swirl the pot around to ensure that it melts slowly and does not sizzle or brown. Increase the heat and bring the butter to a boil. When the surface is covered with foam, stir gently and reduce the heat to the lowest possible setting. Gently simmer, uncovered, and undisturbed for 45 minutes, until the milk solids in the bottom of the pan have turned golden brown and the butter on top is transparent. Strain the ghee through a sieve lined with several layers of cheesecloth. The ghee should be perfectly clear and smell nutty; pour into a glass jar and seal tightly.
• Toast the whole spices (coriander, cumin, fennel, cloves, mustard, cardamom and peppercorns) and the chiles in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat, shaking the pan often to prevent them from burning. Toast for a couple of minutes until the spices smell fragrant. In a clean coffee grinder, grind the toasted spices together to a fine powder. Add the turmeric and give it another quick buzz to combine. Use the spice blend immediately, or store in a sealed jar for as long as 1 month.

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.

CURRIED CAULIFLOWER AND CHICKPEA DUMP DINNER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
• Whisk the vegetable broth, coconut milk, garlic, ginger, serrano, curry powder and 2 teaspoons salt together in a medium bowl until combined. Add the chickpeas and spinach and stir to coat.
• Spread the rice evenly in the bottom of the prepared dish. Pour in the coconut-milk mixture, distributing the chickpeas and spinach evenly over the rice. Scatter the cauliflower and onion over the top, making sure to go all the way to the edge of the pan (it's okay if the cauliflower is not completely submerged in liquid).
• Cover tightly with foil and bake until the vegetables have softened but are still vibrant, about 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until the cauliflower is charred in spots and the rice is cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes more. Let sit for 5 minutes to allow the rice to absorb more of the moisture. Serve topped with cilantro, a drizzle of yogurt and lime wedges for squeezing.

ROASTED CURRIED CAULIFLOWER AND ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Heat either oven or BBQ to approx. 400°F
• Chop and dice each ingredient as described, and combine in a large mixing bowl
• Place the contents on a parchment paper covered baking sheep or BBQ safe pan or mat. Roast for approximately 45 minutes in oven or 30 minutes on BBQ, stirring every 10-15 minutes.
• Serve hot or cold as a side dish, or on top of a bed of greens or rice as an entrée. Sprinkle fresh herbs and seeds on top to garnish and provide extra nutrients and protein.

CAULIFLOWER (OR OTHER VEGETABLES) WITH CURRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Steam the cauliflower for 15 to 20 minutes, or until tender. If you prefer, the cauliflower can be roasted or (pan) grilled. I pan grilled zucchini in place of cauliflower, cutting them up into 5" long by 1" thick pieces and lightly oiling them first.
• While the cauliflower/vegetables cooks, sauté the onions in the oil in a small skillet until golden.
• Add the curry powder and cook, stirring often, for another 2 minutes. Place the onion mixture in a bowl and allow to cool for about 10 minutes.
• Transfer the onions to a food processor, add the yogurt, and puree until smooth. It may be necessary to add a splash of water to help the mixture to blend. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• When the cauliflower is done cooking, remove it to a serving platter, spoon on the curried yogurt sauce or serve the sauce in a bowl.
• Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.

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.

ROASTED CURRIED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. In a large bowl, stir together oil, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, curry powder, and salt. Add the cauliflower, tossing to coat thoroughly with spice mixture.
• Arrange cauliflower in a single layer on prepared sheet. Roast until florets are browned on bottom and tender when pierced with the tip of a paring knife, about 35 minutes. Serve hot.

CURRIED CAULIFLOWER (INDIAN STYLE)

Steps:

• Mix flour, coriander, cumin, chile pepper, mustard powder, turmeric, and salt together in a bowl. Mix in water until a paste forms. Stir in skim milk and yogurt.
• Heat oil in a nonstick pot over medium heat. Add cumin seeds; heat until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add spice paste; heat for 1 minute. Add cauliflower to the pot and toss with spice paste until completely coated. Cover and cook cauliflower over medium-low heat, stirring several times to coat and prevent burning, until tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Stir lemon juice into the cauliflower just before serving.

CURRIED CAULIFLOWER AND CHICKEN

Steps:

• Put the oil in a 12-inch skillet, and turn the heat to high; add the onion, and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to brown. While it's cooking, trim the cauliflower and cut the florets into 1/2-inch-thick pieces.
• When the onion has browned a little, add the cumin seed and curry powder and cook about 30 seconds. Add the cauliflower, and stir, still over high heat, for another minute. Cut up the tomatoes, and add them to the pan along with their juice, 1/4 cup water and a generous sprinkling of salt and pepper. Cover, and turn the heat to medium-low.
• Cook 10 minutes, stirring once or twice. Add the chicken, stir, cover the pan again and cook 6 to 8 minutes longer, or until the chicken is cooked through. (If the sauce appears to be drying up at any time, add a little more water.) Stir in the lemon juice, taste and adjust seasoning. Garnish if you like, and serve.

ROASTED CURRIED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Place cauliflower florets in large roasting pan. Pull apart onion quarters into separate layers; add to cauliflower.
