Curried Cauliflower with Peas

Makes 6 1-cup servings

The spices in this curry are toasted for extra flavor. Be careful to add the liquid slowly to avoid spattering.

1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
¹/₂ teaspoon turmeric
¹/₂ teaspoon ground cumin
¹/₄ teaspoon cinnamon
¹/₄ teaspoon ground ginger
¹/₄ teaspoon ground cardamom
¹/₄ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¹/₂ cup Vegetable Broth or water
1 - 2 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 large onion, chopped
1 head cauliflower, cut or broken into florets (about 4 cups)
1 10-ounce bag frozen peas

Combine coriander, mustard seeds, turmeric, cumin, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and cayenne in a large skillet. Heat, stirring constantly, until spices darken slightly and just begin to smoke, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and cool slightly.

Add broth or water, soy sauce, and onion. Cook until onion is soft, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.

Stir in cauliflower, then cover and cook over medium heat until tender when pierced with a fork, about 5 minutes. Stir in peas and cook until hot, another 1 to 2 minutes.
