Vegetarian Country Captain

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 1/2 cups finely chopped onion
  • 1 1/2 cups diced peeled Granny Smith apple (about 1/2 pound)
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups organic vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons mango chutney
  • 2 tablespoons whipping cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 cups cauliflower florets
  • 2 cups frozen shelled edamame (green soybeans)
  • 3 cups hot cooked long-grain white rice
  • 1/4 cup dried currants
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
  • Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
  • Sliced green onions (optional)
Heat a large, heavy nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add oil to pan, and swirl to coat. Add chopped onion, and cook for 7 minutes or until tender, stirring frequently. Add apple; cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add flour, curry, and garlic; cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer for 2 minutes or until slightly thick. Stir in chutney, cream, and salt. Add cauliflower and edamame; cook for 8 minutes or until cauliflower is tender, stirring occasionally. Serve over rice, and top with currants and almonds. Garnish with cilantro and green onions, if desired.

Serves 4 (1.25 c. cauliflower mixture, 3/4 c. rice, 1 T. almonds, 1 T. currants); 473 calories.

VERDICT: I'd like to try it again with the mango chutney, which I couldn't find at Lund's--this wasn't spectacular, but it was good, especially with the currants, and it will make good leftovers. Keep.
