A bit on the spicy side for me but I will likely try it again with less curry powder and add more of the other flavors.
Vegetarian Country Captain
Traditionally, Country Captain is a mild chicken stew seasoned with curry powder. Myth has it that a British sea captain working in the spice trade introduced this classic, comforting dish to the southern U.S. in the 19th century. Here, we've replaced chicken with edamame and cauliflower for a version loaded with vegetables to help you meet your daily produce goals.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 1/4 cups cauliflower mixture, 3/4 cup rice, 1 tablespoon currants, and 1 tablespoon almonds)
