cauliflower in a curry sauce

This is awesome and super easy to make

Chop up a head of cauliflower and steam it for 15 minutes.
In the meantime...
Chop 1 cup onions.
Sautee in veg/canola oil until golden brown. Then add 1 tbsp cumin. 1/2 tsp tumeric and coriander.
Sautee for two more mins, add a bit of water if it sticks.
Put in a blender with one cup of plain yogurt and puree.
Toss over steamed cauliflower and serve.
salt and pepper to taste.

I made this with coconut scallion rice. Next time I'm going to toss some chickpeas into the mix.

Barley Vegetable Soup

So I've been living off this soup all week.
I took:

2 carrots
1 onion
2 cloves of garlic
2 potatoes
2 tbsp Better than Boullion (Veg Stock)
Water
1/2 cup pearl barley

Chopped the veggies, and put in a pot after sauteeing the onions in a bit of oil. Covered with water, threw the barley and Boullion and simmered for 45 minutes. Then I added:

1/2 bunch asparagus
1/2 bunch broccoli

Let that cook for 3 more minutes and then served hot soup with a sprinkle of Extra Sharp cheddar cheese on top.

It was AWESOME.

Be wary with Barley though, it does a number on the intestines!!
