Cauliflower with Green Beans and Ginger

Ingredients

• 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon yellow mustard seed
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 head cauliflower
• 8 ounces fresh green beans, ends snapped off
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon finely minced fresh ginger
• Salt and pepper
• Large pinch dried red chili flakes

Directions

1. Set a small skillet over medium heat and toast the cumin seeds with the yellow mustard seeds until their aroma opens up, which should only take a few minutes.
2. While the seeds toast, cut the florets away from the cauliflower core, then chop them into 1/2 inch pieces.
3. Warm the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and let it cook for about a minute.
4. Add the cauliflower and green beans, then leave them alone for 4 minutes so they can brown well. Stir everything, then continue cooking for 7 minutes more, stirring now and then.
5. Lower the heat to medium-low and cook for another 3 minutes.
6. Stir in the garlic, ginger, and red chili flakes, and cook for 1 more minute. Add salt and pepper to taste, then serve.
