I am not sure about you but I can eat chickpeas like crazy lately. I just love them. This recipe has been my favorite for a long time. It has been adapted from Tyler Florence and it is the best way to make cauliflower, ever. If you like spicy food this one is for you. Healthy, spicy and vegetarian, what else can you ask from a meal that will be my breakfast lunch and dinner.
You will need: Large (1lb and 13 oz) can of Garbanzo Beans (chickpeas, drained), 1 small cauliflower (about 1 lb), 2 vine ripe tomatoes, 2 tbs curry powder, 1 medium yellow onion, 2 tbs of butter, 1 inch of ginger (grated), 2 tbs tomato paste and 1 cup water (not pictured)
Finely chop the yellow onion
Seed and dice the tomatoes
In a pan melt the 2 tbs butter
until bubbly
add onion, tomatoes, graded ginger and curry
Cook until soft , about 6 minutes
In the mean time cut the cauliflowers into florets, what does that mean? Cut out the hard (YUMMY) core inside, eat it why you leave the “flowers” with slight stems for the dish
add it to the dish along with 1 drained can of chickpeas and 2 tbs tomato paste
top of with 1 cup of water
Stir together, cover and cook on medium/low heat for 20 minutes or until tender. When soft uncover and cook until the mixture evaporates slightly and resembles gravy.
Dig in and enjoy. You can eat it as spicy side dish, main dish with piece of crunchy french bread. It is amazing. But you must like it HOT. Do you like it HOT? Can you handle the heat?

How have I never made this Tyler recipe?? It looks so incredibly tasty. I’ve been eating chickpeas like a madwoman lately. Need to have this!
LOL, too funny I had cauliflower featured on Monday as well but the two dishes could not be any more different.
I love Tyler Florence and this dish looks incredible. I would have never thought to mix cauliflower and chickpeas! Wonderful, will definitely add this to my bookmarks.
I love cauliflower, and chick peas ( garbanzo beans I call them) but never thought to put them together… yum gotta make this!
I love cauliflower and curried dishes, so this is right up my alley. I love the way your photo perfectly captures the colors and textures. Nice job.
I can almost smell this dish, yep it smells amazing, I knew it would. I have to try this.
Made this dish, and was surprised how good it was. I thought looking at the ingredients that it would turn out bland, but boy was I wrong about that! The flavour was delicious, and I’m just thinking of all the possibilities you could do with this recipe with other veggies.
So far I’ve tried 2 great paleo recipes from your site. Thanks for posting this.
Wow, this sounds awesome! I love that you have so many indian inspired dishes…might have to make this tomorrow as well!
