Vegetables served over yogurt wasn’t something I had discovered until I traveled to the Middle East, where it was everywhere! Um, had I been living under a food rock all these years? I fell in love with how bright and flavorful everything was, while somehow remaining effortless. Serve with a simple roasted chicken to clean up any leftover yogurt sauce.
INGREDIENTS:
-
3C cauliflower, chopped into small florets
-
2C Greek yogurt, non fat
-
¼C Italian parsley, chopped
-
¼C dill, chopped
-
¼C green onion, chopped
-
2tbsp olive oil
-
2tbsp lemon zest
-
2tbsp lemon juice
-
2tbsp pomegranate seeds
-
2tbsp pistachios, salted and roasted, chopped
-
½tsp turmeric powder
-
1tsp salt
INSTRUCTIONS:
-
In a mixing bowl combine yogurt, parsley, dill, green onion, and ¼tsp of salt. Set aside.
-
Heat olive oil over medium heat in a sauté pan. Add in cauliflower and turmeric, sauté for 10-15 minutes. You wanted the cauliflower to get nicely brown and just cooked through, still allowing for some texture in the vegetable.
-
Deglaze the pan with lemon juice, add in lemon zest and allow to cook for 3 minutes. This will get all those beautiful brown bits off the bottom of the pan aka flavor!
-
Serve cauliflower over the herbed yogurt. Top with pomegranate, pistachios, and more herbs if desired.
