Braised Cauliflowers





A truly enjoyabe meal and easily prepared...The ones available locally
 come from the Mediterranean area (Spain, Italy & France).
 Cauliflower is rich in Vitamin C , low in fat and carbohydrates.
  I prefer to cook it with liquid.. Hope you enjoy this as much as we enjoyed it at home..

  
Braised Cauliflowers

it into small pieces, wash and set aside. Meanwhile, peel & cut
 the carrots, dice the bell peppers and  cut spring onion
 into cubes or small pieces as shown in the photo above. 

2. 
Heat a pan with 2 tbsp olive oil & fry the crushed garlic
 til it becomes golden Brown. Add the diced ham ,
 bell peppers,  cut spring onions... mix thoroughly
  & stir fry for about 4-5 minutes. 

3.

 low heat for  about  10 minutes or til vegetables become soft.

more 1/2 cup & continue stirring,  add the fresh parsley and  season
