Step 1

In a pot of boiling salted water, blanch the cauliflower by cooking them in boiling water for 3 minutes; drain and set aside.

Heat the coconut oil in a large saute pan on medium high heat; add the shallots, garlic, curry, turmeric, chili flakes and 1/2 tsp salt. Cook until everything is translucent and fragrant- about 4 minutes.

Add the cauliflower and cook for 3 minutes, allowing some color to develop; add the chickpeas and season with the remaining salt. Stir and cook for 3 minutes and then deglaze with coconut milk; be sure to scrape the bottom of the pan.

Remove from heat, stir in cilantro leaves and serve on a bed of whole grains, such as quinoa, bulgur or millet.
