Ingredients

1 tablespoon canola oil
1 teaspoon cumin seed
1 teaspoon coriander seed
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
1 whole clove garlic, smashed
1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
1 cup water
1 cup rice wine vinegar
1/2 cup cider vinegar
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon pickling salt

Directions

Heat the canola oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Crush the cumin seed with the coriander seed and add to the pan. Add the curry powder, ginger, and garlic to the pan. Cook these spices, stirring until the oil colors and the spices are fragrant. Add the cauliflower florets to the pan and toss to coat.

In a lidded plastic container, combine the water, rice wine vinegar, cider vinegar, sugar, and pickling salt. Shake to combine.

Once the cauliflower is slightly tender, add it to a glass jar. Pour the pickling liquid over the cauliflower, filling to the top of the jar. Cool, chill, and store the pickles for 1 week to allow the flavors to develop thoroughly.

canning?
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

has anyone tried canning this recipe for preservation? i was thinking that it could be done with some minor changes: not... sauteeing the cauliflower, but adding it fresh into the jars and pouring the combined/heated spices and vinegars in over it, then using a boiling-water method. any thoughts? use a low-temp boiling method (180F for 30min) or standard boil?Read more

I let my kids drink pure canola oil from the bottle
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

There is nothing wrong with Canola oil. All the information on that page is either out of context, or from dubious sources. ... The "Rapeseed" plant is a natural plant, the controversy has to do with the genetically altered version that's resistant to Monsanto's herbicides. Haven't seen hoopla like that since the fight against Di-Hydro Monoxide. Canola is fine.... However I've heard wrapping your head in tin foil can be bad for you.Read more

A family favourite
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Excellent recipe. The mild curry flavor and the semi-crisp cauliflower are a wonderful match. Try it as an accompanyment to... roast lamb or rosemary chicken.Read more
