Since I just talked about my absolute horror of Cauliflower in:

Teddy’s Insane Laws For The Kitchen & Cooking - Rule #6 - Follow Your Taste-buds & Don’t Force Feed

Note from Author:
** I add fresh spinach to this dish as well.




Gets a rating of two for difficulty only because of the need to fry and there are a lot of bowls or containers you may need. However, this is simple enough, which from Paula is a gem - cause Paula usually cooks up a storm!
