Cauliflower with bacon

[hugh_mannity]

I've got this Ethiopian spice mix which comes with a recipe for roasted cauliflower.

However, there's no way I'm going to run the oven for 1/2 a cauliflower and more than that would be too much. What I did instead was:

• Cut up and steam the cauliflower
• While it was steaming, cut up and cook some bacon
• When the cauliflower was al dente and the bacon about 1/2 way to crispy, tossed the cauliflower in with the bacon
• I rolled it all around to get a nice coating of bacon juice on the cauliflower
• Then sprinkled it with a generous amount of the spice mix
• When the bacon was crisp and the cauliflower a little bit brown, I turned off the heat and threw a handful of shredded cheese over it.

There was much nomming while I ate it. But next time, perhaps not quite so generous with the spice mix -- it's quite, well, spicey.

But a delicious, nutritious* dinner with maybe 8 grams of carbs? Definitely FTW! (Yes, I'm doing the low carb thing being a diabetic and all.)

Just don't overcook the cauliflower, it shouldn't be mush.
