Curried Cauliflower

  • Note: Choose cauliflower that is firm and white or creamy-white in color. Yellow leaves and spreading flower clusters indicate poor quality.

    Vegetable cooking spray
    1 1/2 tsp vegetable oil (I use high heat olive oil)
    1/3 cup thinly sliced green onions
    1 1/2 tsp curry powder
    1/2 tsp garlic powder
    1/4 tsp light salt
    1 large bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1/4 inch squares
    1 medium cauliflower (about 2 pounds) broken into flowerets
    1/2 cup water

    Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Add oil. Place over medium-high heat until hot. Add green onions and saute' 1 minute. Add curry powder, garlic powder, and salt; saute' 30 seconds. Add bell pepper, and saute' 1 minute. Add cauliflower and water; stir well. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes or until cauliflower is crisp-tender, stirring occasionally. Yield 5 servings (about 58 calories per 1 cup serving)
