Sauteed Purple Cauliflower

Approx. 95 Calories per serving. Recipe makes 2 servings.

Do you love the Phoenix Suns or LSU Tigers? If so, show your love for your team this Valentine's Day by making this tasty side dish in your team's colors.

I bought some purple cauliflower yesterday, and decided to make something that wouldn't compete with the lovely color. I was going to make grilled chicken to go with it, but ended up eating both servings as my main dish instead. It was quite tasty and filling. I still have half the cauliflower left, so I will need to think of a second way to use it.

Now..... where's an LSU alumni potluck when you need it?

Ingredients
  • 2 1/2 cups cauliflower (I used purple, but you really could use regular or any of the heirloom colors)
  • 1/2 cup yellow cherry tomatoes
  • 1 shallot (approx. 1/8 cup)
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes, or to taste
  • 1/2 Tbs olive oil
  • 1/2 cup water

Directions
  1. Cut cauliflower into bite sized pieces.
  2. Cut cherry tomatoes into quarters.
  3. Dice shallot and grate garlic.
  4. Add shallot, garlic, pepper flakes, and oil to a skillet.
  5. Heat until shallot softens.
  6. Add water and cauliflower.
  7. Cook until cauliflower is tender and water evaporates.
  8. Add tomatoes.
  9. Cook until tomatoes soften.
