Cauliflower and Tomato
SautΓ©ed vegetables with tamarind salt
Why This Recipe Works
Inspired by a simple temple-town dish from Bagan, this vegetable pairing is brightened with tamarind and fresh cilantro. It is a hearty, earthy side that highlights the natural sweetness of cauliflower.
Instructions
Prep your cauliflower by slicing any large florets into halves or quarters to ensure everything cooks at the same rate.
Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Toss in the cauliflower and salt, cover the pan, and drop the heat to low. Let it steam for 4 minutes until the cauliflower begins to soften and brown slightly.
Uncover the pan and stir in the shallots. Cook for 2 minutes while stirring until the shallots soften, then add the tomatoes.
Turn the heat back up to medium-high and cook for about 1 minute until the tomatoes break down and the cauliflower is perfectly tender. Garnish with plenty of cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
