The cauliflower provides a hefty dose of vitamin C and the peas provide plenty of vitamin K.   Cauliflower is super versatile, which makes it an excellent kitchen staple.  Cauliflower is best in season during the summer months, but you can always find it in your supermarket.  Cauliflower is also an excellent source of vitamin C as well as folate and potassium.

Begin by cutting the leaves off of the cauliflower.  In a bowl, mix up the yogurt with some paprika, black pepper, curry powder, cayenne, and a touch of salt.  Place the cauliflower on a roasting pan and spread the yogurt mix all over the the cauliflower head.  Bake it at 400F for about 30-40 minutes.  Once it has a slight crisp, this dish is ready to be enjoyed!

The cauliflower has all the flavor and all the nutrients.  Enjoy as a side or a main dish.  How do you like the flavor of this recipe? Let us know in the comments section below! Happy cooking! xo
