Roasted Indian Cauliflower Tossed With Chickpeas And Cashews

Author Aviva Goldfarb says, "Six O’Clock Scramble CFO (and my good friend) Robin Thieme stopped by on a Saturday to drop off a book and was surprised to find that I was cooking a hot lunch for my husband, Andrew, and me. I confessed that I was just trying to use up some produce before it went bad. Robin joined us for lunch and we all agreed this dish is a winner. Serve with Tropical Island Smoothies."

Directions

DO AHEAD OR DELEGATE: Chop the cauliflower, combine the spices, or fully prepare and refrigerate the dish.
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a large serving bowl, toss the cauliflower with 2 tablespoons of the oil. In a small bowl, combine the spices (curry powder through salt). Toss the cauliflower with the spices, and spread the florets on a large baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, in the large serving bowl, combine the chickpeas, cashews, and raisins with the remaining tablespoon of oil. Remove the cauliflower from the oven and toss in the chickpeas, cashews, and raisins. Return it to the oven for 10 more minutes until the cauliflower is well browned and tender. (Meanwhile, prepare the smoothies, if you are serving them.) Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 3 days.
-
SLOW COOKER DIRECTIONS: Add all ingredients except the chutney to the slow cooker and cook on low for 4–5 hours or on high for 2–3 hours. (Slow cooker cooking times may vary—get to know your slow cooker and, if necessary, adjust cooking times accordingly.)

This was very easy to prepare and the flavor was wonderful. The roasted cauliflower and chick peas complement one another. I halved the red pepper and cumin because I don't like too much heat. Great vegan dinner choice!
