I like to make vegetarian dishes when days are busy and I’m tired at night. They cook fast and they’re usually very easy.
Cauliflower is a great one to use and a meat alternative food because it’s so hearty and can really hold sauces like meat can. It’s fiber-rich, so it’s very filling and you get a lot of your veggies served up in a dish like this.
This dish highlights how amazing cauliflower can be and uses mostly pantry staples so I usually have everything on hand. I like to serve this with rice, but it’s great on its own too!
