Indian Spiced Cauliflower

Notes: We both thought this was just so-so. I was trying to clear out the fridge so I served it with what we hand on hand, fried potatoes and roasted brussels sprouts.

Ingredients:
1½ cup walnuts
4 Tbsp. olive oil
1 head cauliflower, broken up into small florets (about 1½ pounds)
½ tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. turmeric
1 Tbsp. garam masala
¼ tsp. cayenne pepper
1¼ cups vegetable stock
3 Tbsp. tomato paste
¼ tsp. kosher salt

Directions:
Preheat oven or toaster oven to 350°. Spread walnuts on a sheet tray and toast until fragrant, 6 to 8 minutes. Cool, then roughly chop and set aside.
In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Lightly brown cauliflower, stirring frequently, then remove from skillet and transfer to a bowl. Add chili powder, turmeric, garam masala, and cayenne pepper to the hot pan and toast lightly, about 30 seconds. Immediately add the vegetable stock, tomato paste, and salt; mix well. Stir in cauliflower and simmer for 2 minutes. Garnish with ground walnuts and serve.
