Cauliflower With Peas - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon cumin seed
1 teaspoon gingerroot, freshly grated
1/2 teaspoon garlic clove, minced
4 shallots, peeled and sliced
1 head cauliflower, broken into bite-sized florets (4 cups)
1 cup frozen peas
1/2 cup grape tomatoes, halved
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 tablespoons ground coriander
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
salt
fresh cilantro, for garnish (use either the leaves or chop leaves with stems)

Preparation

In a skillet, over medium heat, add the oil and heat until it begins to shimmer; add cumin seeds and saute until they too begin to sizzle, about 30 seconds.
Add in the ginger, garlic, and shallots and cook until they start to soften, about 2 minutes.
Add in the cauliflower, cover the skillet, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower has begun to caramelize, 8 minutes.
Stir in the peas and tomatoes, turmeric, pepper, coriander, and cayenne, if using; season with salt to taste.
Cover and cook until the cauliflower is cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh cilantro.
