Here’s another dish from 660 Curries. The dish in the cookbook calls for using cauliflower, which sounds delicious as well. It is a bit of a rich dish, with the coconut and the cashew. Serve on a bed of rice and this dish is sure to be a crowd pleaser.

Sauteed Cauliflower with Garlic Anchovy Sauce
Cauliflower with Garlic Anchovy Sauce
Adapted from How to Cook Everything by Mark Bittman
Here’s a great quick and flavorful dish that can be used as a vegetable side, as a pasta sauce, or a sauce for pork or chicken. I like serving this with a side of cooked greens and crusty bread. It would also be great served with cooked cannellini beans. Yes, this dish has anchovies, but give them a try. Yes, the smell is strong when you first open them, but they melt into the olive oil and add a ton of flavor to the dish. The key is to buy good quality anchovies.

Cauliflower Steak-Roasted
As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, roasting caramelizes vegetables and brings out the natural sweetness. Here’s a variation using the same cooking technique, but different prepping technique, I discovered in Alice Water’s cookbook The Art of Simple Food. A whole head of cauliflower is cut in slices from top to bottom to form cauliflower steaks. It’s a more elegant way to serve roasted cauliflower and it’s delicious. I could not stop eating it. Try serving a couple of cauliflower steaks per person, with quinoa and braised kale or chard to make a complete dinner.
