Curried Cauliflower, Carrots and Potatoes
Serves: 4
This is a rich side dish or a satisfying entree, depending on the rest of the meal. I created a deceptively complex, rich brown sauce using just curry, white wine, a little miso, tomato paste and sugar. Add a cup of chickpeas or some cubes of tofu if you would like additional protein. Serve over rice with a side of salad.

Preparation
In a large sauté pan, cook onion in oil until lightly browned. While onion cooks, steam carrots and potatoes until slightly softened, then add cauliflower and cook for an additional 2 minutes or so, until tender, but not mushy. If the onion is done before the vegetables, remove pan from heat.
Increase heat slightly for the onions and add 1/2 cup of the wine. Bring to a slight boil and stir in curry, sugar and tomato paste. Stir in miso and reduce heat. Add remaining wine. Stir and cook until a nice thick sauce froms. Season with salt and pepper. Add steamed vegetables, coating well with sauce. Add peas and cook on a low heat for another minute to two. Before serving, add pear. Season additionally with salt and pepper, if necessary.
