Curry is a great way to bring some life to otherwise bland vegetables.

1 1/2 Tablespoons oil
1 head cauliflower chopped up
1 medium onion chopped up
saute until onions are clear and cauliflower is tender

In a bowl mix:
1 teaspoon curry
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup water
Add this to the cauliflower and onions and simmer until liquid is reduced by half.

In India potatoes are added to the curry. Cauliflower (cabbage-flower) originated in the Mediterranean and is popular in cream soups in the mid section of Europe.

This is a nice winter dish. Everything can be put together the night before and left in the fridge and taken out and cooked the next day. A good dish for a lazy Sunday or for company.

one leg of lamb (1 lb per person)
1 lg potato per person
2 cloves garlic (crushed)
1 lemon
1/2 cup olive oil
water
1 Tbsp oregano

Preheat oven to 350′

Put oil, 1/2 cup of water the 2 cloves of garlic,oregano ,lemon juice from lemon and the yellow peel from lemon into a (9×13) baking pan

Wash potatoes and cut into 1/2″ slices

Put lamb and potatoes into baking pan and mix until they have been covered with water/oil mixture.

While cooking check frequently and add water to keep about 1/2″ in bottom of pan.

Bake until meat thermometer says lamb is done, (30 -60 minutes depending on the size of the lamb)

Note: The acid in the lemon acts as a tenderizer, so be sure to let it do its work over night.

This soup is full of good things for you and easy to make, although there are lots of pans involved. This soup is worth the effort.

2 cups dry black beans
2 cans diced, flavored tomatoes (I use Fresh Cut)
4 medium potatoes, diced small
1/2 large onion diced
2 Tablespoons of cooking oil
2 Tablespoons of basil (fresh if you can)
1 clove garlic minced
6 cubes of chicken bullion and 6 cups of water

Put black beans in a pan with water and boil until the beans are soft enough to chew.

In a skillet put oil, onion, garlic, basil, and potatoes and cook until potatoes are tender and onions are clear.

In a crock pot or in a large pot over a very low heat add the tomatoes with the juice, the chicken bullion, the cooked, drained and rinsed beans and the cooked potatoes and onions .

Cook over a very low heat or in crock pot 4 to 6 hours.
