Curry Roasted Cauliflower Bowl

Ingredients

Cauliflower: this can be made on its own and would be great as a side or paired with rice

• 1/2 head of cauliflower

• 1.5 tsp curry powder

• 1 tsp turmeric

• 1/2 tsp black mustard seeds (optional)

• Olive oil

• Salt

• 1/4-1/2 cup of nuts: cashews, pine nuts, walnuts, or pistachios

• 1/4 cup raisins or currents (optional)

Bowl

• ~1 cup yogurt

• ~1 cup arugula

• 1 lemon

1 serving

Method

Cauliflower

• Heat oven to 410º

• Cut cauliflower into florets. You want these to be relatively evenly sized so that they cook evenly

• In a bowl or on a baking sheet toss the cauliflower with roughly 2 tablespoons of olive oil (this does not need to be precise), curry powder, turmeric, mustard seeds, and a pinch of salt

  • You want to toss until all the pieces are evenly coated with spices and olive oil

• Put the cauliflower in the oven and roast for 10-12 minutes, then take out and flip

• Return to oven to cook for another 10-12 minutes. A couple minutes before it is done, take out and put the nuts you are using onto the baking sheet, finish all together

  • Note: depending on what type of nut you are using, the cook time will vary. If you are using a larger nut like cashews or walnuts, they will take about 5 minutes. If you are using a smaller nut like pine nuts, you’ll only need to toast them for about 3 minutes

• When you remove the cauliflower and nuts from the oven, throw the raisins onto the baking sheet and toss everything together so the nuts and raisins get coated in the residual spice/oil mixture 

Note: if you are making cauliflower on its own, it would be great to finish it with a squeeze of lemon and/or some fresh herbs such as cilantro or mint

Lemon & Arugula

• Squeeze half of the lemon into the arugula and the other half of the lemon into the yogurt

  • Note: I like to put the arugula into a bowl and squeeze lemon into it, toss, and then remove. Then I put the yogurt into that same bowl to mix with lemon. This way, the yogurt will absorb any leftover lemon juice from the arugula

Assembly

• Lay yogurt down as a base. I like to spread it over approximately half of the bowl

• Then layer arugula and cauliflower on top

• Drizzle with a little olive oil and enjoy!
