Cooked cauliflower mix

I like vegetables, if not raw, then only very lightly cooked just to bring forth its freshness. In this experiment, I try to cook cauliflower without oil, and season it with small amount of various very flavorful ingredients. These ingredients include meats, dried herbs and spices. I also use a small amount of colorful vegetables for decoration. Since they are not the main ingredients, they are chopped finely for the ease of munching.

Recipe: Cooked cauliflower mix (for 2-3)

Ingredients:
- 1/2 a head of cauliflower, cut to 3/4" small florets
- 1/4 cup onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup carrot, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup snow pea, cut to 1/2" pieces
- 1 stalk spring onion, chopped to 1/4" pieces
- 1/4 cup chopped cooked ham
- 1/4 cup chopped cooked turkey
- 1/2 cup meat stock
- 1 tablespoon (TB) dried flakes of basil, rosemary, thyme, savory and marjoram
- 1 teaspoon (tp) black pepper
- 1 tp chili paste

Procedure:
1. Place cauliflower florets, sliced onion and dried herbs in a large non-stick pan with 1/2 cup of meat stock. Allow to cook until the cauliflower is very slightly softened, stirring frequently to enable uniform cooking and mixing of the herbs. Add in cooked ham, cooked turkey, chopped carrot, snow pea and chili paste. Sprinkle black pepper. Continue stirring to mix thoroughly. Do not allow the pan to dry out. Add 1-2 tp water if necessary. Sprinkle chopped spring onion and serve.
