CAULIFLOWER AND RED PEPPER

Yield: 6 servings

Source: America's Everyday Diabetes Cookbook

INGREDIENTS

- 1 head cauliflower, florets only

- 2 red bell peppers, roasted, skinned and cut into thick strips

- 1/4 teaspoon salt

- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

- 2 tablespoons lemon juice

- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil

- 1 teaspoon black mustard seeds

- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric

- 1/2 teaspoon whole coriander seeds

- 2 cloves garlic

- 2 tablespoons olive oil

DIRECTIONS

Blanch cauliflower florets in a large saucepan of boiling

water for 5 to 6 minutes, until just cooked. Drain, refresh

in iced water, drain again and transfer to a bowl. Add red

peppers to cauliflower. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss.

In a small bowl whisk together the lemon

juice and Dijon mustard until blended. Set aside.

In a small frying pan heat the vegetable over medium heat for

1 minute. Add mustard seeds, turmeric, and coriander seeds,

and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the seeds begin to

pop. With a rubber spatula, scrape cooked spices from the pan

into the lemon-mustard mixture. Squeeze garlic through a

garlic press and add to the mixture. Add olive oil and whisk

until the dressing has emulsified.

Add dressing to the cauliflower-red pepper mixture. Toss

gently but thoroughly to dress all the pieces evenly.

Transfer to a serving bowl, propping up the red pepper

ribbons to properly accent the yellow-tinted cauliflower.

This salad benefits greatly from a 1 to 2 hour wait, after

which it should be served at room temperature.
