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.
