4-6
ingredients
- vegetable oil cooking spray
- 1 medium cauliflower, break into florets
- 1 -2 teaspoon water (or just the water left on the cauliflower from washing)
- 3 -4 green onions, chopped
- 1⁄2 cup sweet red pepper, chopped
- 1⁄2 cup sweet green pepper, chopped
- 1⁄2 cup yellow sweet pepper, chopped
- cayenne pepper
- salt
- 2 -3 tablespoons black olives, chopped
- 1⁄2 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
directions
- spray a microwave safe casserole with veggie oil.
- Place cauliflower florets in casserole.
- Add water if needed.
- Chop all the peppers and green onion and sprinkle over the cauliflower.
- Sprinkle salt and cayenne over to taste.
- Mix a little to distribute everything evenly.
- Cover and microwave on high for about 4 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender crisp.
- (depends on how much cauliflower is used).
- If you do not have a turntable in the micro, you might want to stir once, halfway through.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle olives and cheese over top.
- Cover and microwave for 10 to 20 seconds or just until the cheese barely melts.
- Remove from oven and let stand covered for 5 minutes before serving.
- I cook this in the serving dish, it does not have a lid, so I cover it with plastic wrap, with just one tiny steam vent, cut in the centre.
- Don't want to loose too much cooking steam.

This is excellent! I made it on the stove today in my AMC cookware. It was a real delight! I had an uncle come home for lunch and he said to tell you that he loved it! I omitted the olives and cheese. I did add 2 potatoes and I fried the caulifower pieces in hot oil, drained it and then added the pieces to the capsicums. I also added jeera for seasoning. Besides that, I added a few chopped tomato pieces for additional colour. But this is truly excellent dish, colourful and can brighten up anyone's day!! My dad, mom and brother have said a special 'THANK YOU" to you for sharing this:)

This was great! I'm against micro-cooking, so I did it in a covered dish (w/ a little water) in the oven at the same time that I was cooking meatloaf. If took about 1/2 hour, stirring half way between. My family loved it, but perhaps because I added 1/2 cup cheddar too. It was perfect. Thanks. BTW, mine wasn't raw or soggy...
