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!

2 red onions, diced

5cm piece ginger, grated

Serving:
I like to serve this as a side to many dishes. It also serves as a lovely base for seared scallops.
