Steamed Cauliflower & Green Beans With Dill Sauce

Simply Easy Delicious Cauliflower Recipe From Eat Taste Heal

Thanks to Chef Johnny Brannigan and Eat Taste Heal Ayurvedic Guide & Cookbook, for this simple, easy, delicious cauliflower recipe.

"With its mild taste and wonderful texture, cauliflower helps keep the fires of Pitta in check. Dill is also one of the great Pitta pacifying herbs of the Ayurvedic kitchen apothecary. For a sudden burst of wonderful aroma, pour the sauce over while the vegetables are still steaming."

This fresh cauliflower and green bean vegetable recipe is simple and delicious, including the sauce, which isn't cooked but just mixed together in a bowl. The ingredients can be found in most supermarkets. If you can't find fresh dill, I would say use dried, or substitute a different fresh herb, such as parsley.

For a quick lunch or dinner, combine this cauliflower & green bean recipe with rice or quinoa and fried tofu. Make extra and mix the leftovers together for a take-along lunch the next day. If you have more time to play in the kitchen, try it with Spicy Tofu Rice Pilaf
