Braised Cauliflower and Peas 😋🌶️
Proof that even the humblest vegetables can be transformed into something absolutely delicious! 😍 Simple to make, packed with flavour, and so satisfying!
Here’s how I make mine:
1. Heat enough oil in a pot. When cooking vegetables, you need to ensure there’s sufficient oil.
2. Add 1 large sliced onion and sauté until translucent.
3. Add curry leaves and green chillies (optional).
4. Add approximately 1½ teaspoons of Perima’s Kitchen All-In-One Chicken Masala. Remember, you need far less masala when cooking vegetarian dishes.
5. Once the spices have bloomed, add 2 small liquidised tomatoes and a pinch of sugar.
6. Allow the tomatoes to cook down until the oil separates.
7. Add approximately 600 g of cleaned cauliflower florets, season with salt to taste and gently mix through.
8. Cover and cook for approximately 15 minutes, stirring occasionally and gently to avoid breaking the florets. You want the cauliflower to retain its shape and not become mushy.
9. Check the stems, as they’re the firmest part of the cauliflower. Once they’re almost tender, add a handful of peas ( mine were frozen peas so I soaked in some warm water to defrost it before adding to the cauliflower )
10. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes, until the cauliflower and peas are cooked to your liking. Garnish with fresh coriander.
Serve with rice, roti or fresh white bread! 😋
And here’s something I absolutely love -cauliflower and peas sandwiches for breakfast with a hot cup of tea! ☕😍
Enjoy, PeriFam! ❤️
