STIR FRIED FLORETS WITH WALNUTS

(A rich walnut dressing turns crunchy cauliflower and broccoli into a very special vegetable dish.  Serves 4)

Ingredients:

1-1/2 cups cauliflower florets                     1-1/2 cups broccoli florets

1 Tbsp. Sunflower oil or Olive Oil             1/4 red Chili finely chopped or

Salt and black pepper to taste                    1 tsp. chili powder

4 Tbsps. Vegetable stock                            Thin rings of chili or chopped red

 1/2 cup walnut finely chopped                 pepper to garnish

Procedure:

1.  Make sure the cauliflower and broccoli florets are all of an even size.  Heat the oil in a saucepan or wok and toss the florets over a high heat for 1 minute.

• Reduce the heat and continue stir-frying for another 5 minutes, then add the finely chopped walnuts, chili and seasoning.

• When the cauliflower is crisp and tender, add 4 tablespoons of vegetable stock continue heating through.  Serve at once, sprinkled with the chili rings or chopped pepper.

Note:  The crisper these florets are, the better, so cook them just long enough to make them piping hot, and give them time to absorb all the flavors.
