Curry Roasted Cauliflower

 

Curry Roasted Cauliflower Recipe: 

1 Cauliflower head

2 Tbsp oil (I use Canola or Olive oil)

2 tsp curry paste

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp turmeric

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (more or less if preferred) 

optional: fresh parsley

 

Preheat the oven to 450F. 

 

Wash and cut the cauliflower into pieces.

 

 

In a small bowl, mix all of the ingredients except the cauliflower.

Put the cauliflower into a large bowl.  Pour the curry mixture over the cauliflower and toss together until the cauliflower is coated. 

Lightly spray a baking sheet.  Pour the cauliflower on to the baking sheet. Put it in the oven.  Toss the cauliflower every 10 minutes until done.

The total baking time is 20-30 minutes depending on how roasted you like your cauliflower.

 

Remove from the oven.  Put it in a serving bowl or on a serving plate and top with fresh chopped parsley.

  

Enjoy!

attract hummingbirds to you yard

Hummingbirds are easy to attract and care for. Better yet, these birds are loyal.
Once they find a habitat that satisfies their needs, they return year after year.

The key to attracting hummingbirds to your yard is to plant lots of flowers and provide the habitat that will give them shade, shelter, food, and security.

• Herbs, flowering shrubs, dwarf trees, and vines all can be used to create an ideal habitat from ground level to 10 feet or more.

• Hummingbirds love water, especially if it is moving. A gentle, continuous spray from a nozzle or a sprinkler hose is perfect for a bath on the fly.

• Hummingbirds do not have a keen sense of smell and rely on bright colors to find their food.

• They are particularly fond of red and are often observed investigating red plant labels, thermometers, and even red clothes on a gardener.

• Brightly–colored flowers that are tubular hold the most nectar, and are particularly attractive to hummingbirds. These include perennials such as bee balms, columbines, daylilies, and lupines; biennials such as foxgloves and hollyhocks; and many annuals, including cleomes, impatiens, and petunias.
