Pan-Roasted Cauliflower with Peas

Pan-Roasted Cauliflower with Peas

This cauliflower recipe is good because you can use more or less peas or cauliflower, it's up to you. For example, I prefer with more peas than cauliflower and it's like a kind of diet "rice" with peas.

The recipe I was inspired by was with more specific Indian flavors. It didn't work for us - I nearly threw it away. But it was on my mind and I thought the method was good, I just had to change the flavors. So I made an "upgrade" with butter and some turmeric for color and that was it. It turned out to be a wonderful sweetish food, butter-flavoured and hearty. It can be used as garnish or as such, as a pea dish.

In the lenten recipe, butter can be replaced with oil or coconut butter.
