    Default Lemon-Garlic Cauliflower-Broccoli Saute

    I want to share this recipe I found on iVillage, because I've made it a couple times and it tastes really, really good! I never really got into eating cauliflower or broccoli before I started making this. Usually I vary the recipe a little though- adding extra lemon juice and some black pepper. Also, I tried coconut oil instead of canola and it was delicious. And I've used ginger powder and garlic powder instead of fresh; it worked fine.

    Ok, here you go:

    "Lemon-Garlic Cauliflower-Broccoli Sauté


    This vegetable dish has a delicately balanced flavor. A word of caution, however: When an acid is used with a green vegetable, the vegetable will lose its appealing bright green color. To avoid this, you might add the lemon juice just before you serve the vegetables.

    Serving: Serves: 6
    Cook Time: 15 minutes
    Total Time: 30 minutes


    2 tablespoons canola oil
    1 cup diced onions
    1 tablespoon minced garlic
    1 tablespoon peeled and minced ginger
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 cup water
    3 cups cauliflower (cut into bite-sized pieces)
    3 cups broccoli (cut into bite-sized pieces)
    1 tablespoon lemon juice
    1 tablespoon lemon zest (optional)




    Heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the onions, garlic, ginger, and salt. Sauté for 5 to 6 minutes. Add the water and cauliflower, cover the pan, and steam the vegetables for 3 minutes. Then add the broccoli, cover again, and steam for 4 minutes longer. (The broccoli should be bright green and tender.) Add the lemon juice to the vegetables just before serving."
    I eat nutritional yeast by the spoonful.

    Looks tasty. Can we get canola oil in the UK? If not does anyone know what oil would be an acceptable substitute?

    Canola Oil is Rapeseed Oil in the UK so you should be able to get it from a supermarket Marrers.

    Interesting, I didn't know that.
    Although "canola" sounds less violent.
