This is a really tasty and quick way to serve this Irish grown vegetable

This is a delicious quick and tasty way to serve cauiflower. It seems to be one of the few vegetables for sale in Irish supermarkets that is grown in Ireland lately!

Serves 4-6 as a side                    Prep time 20 mins

Ingredients:
1 head cauliflower, thinly sliced
2 red onions, diced
1 tsp cumin seeds
5cm piece ginger, grated
1 tsp turmeric

Large handful coriander, chopped

  1. Heat the oil in a pan on med heat, add cumin seeds, onions and ginger, fry for 3-5 mins.
  2. Add cauliflower and 80ml water, cover and cook on med- low heat for 5 mins until tender.
  3. Add in tomatoes, coriander and lime, taste and season and serve.
Serving:
I like to serve this as a side to many dishes. It also serves as a lovely base for seared scallops.
