Ingredients
  1. 1 head cauliflower, cut into small florets
  2. 1 cup finely chopped scallions, onions, or shallots
  3. 4 Tbl olive oil
  4. 1 tsp. black mustard seeds
  5. 1/2 tsp turmeric
  6. 1/3 cup hot water
  7. 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper or one green chili, cut in large pieces so
  8. they can be removed later
  9. 1 1/2 tsp salt
  10. Brown Rice
Instructions
  1. Get your brown rice going before you start cooking.
  2. Have the water and the spices ready to go with the chopped vegetables.
  3. Also have a pan lid handy to prevent spattering.
  4. Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat and when very hot, add the mustard seeds. Cover partially with the pan lid while you stir the hot seeds. When they turn gray, add the turmeric, chilies or powder, salt, and scallions, stirring quickly.
  5. Sauté for about a minute and then add the cauliflower. Stir to mix with the spices and scallions and then add hot water. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook until the cauliflower has softened but not mushy, about 20 minutes, and all the water has evaporated. Remove the chili pepper pieces.
  6. Serve over rice.
