Yield 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 large head of cauliflower
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
black or cayenne pepper, to taste
1 onion, sliced or coarsely chopped
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped or pressed
1/4 to 1/3 cup olive oil
1 preserved lemon, quartered
1 handful red or violet olives
1/2 cup water

Steps:

Break the cauliflower into small florets; wash and drain. Mix the cauliflower with the spices and set aside. In a wide, deep skillet or Dutch oven, saute the onions and garlic in the olive oil over medium heat for just a few minutes. Add the cauliflower, preserved lemon, olives and water and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring gently once or twice, until the cauliflower is just tender. Continue cooking, uncovered, to reduce the liquids to oil only.
