African Style Broccoli

Description: I found this on the web after searching for African recipes that included broccoli for the Zaar World Tour 2005. It was on the mom-mom website.

Ingredients:

• 4 1/2 cups broccoli florets, small
• 2 1/2 cups cauliflower florets, small
• 1 1/2 cups carrots, diagonally sliced 1/4 inch slices
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (to taste)
• 1 cup sour cream (reduced fat ok)
• 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon mild honey (to taste)
• 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onion
• 1/2 cup toasted pine nuts or 1/2 cup coarsely chopped toasted peanuts

Steps:

1. Steam first 3 ingredients, covered, 2 minutes. Rinse broccoli mixture under cold water;
2. drain well.
3. Combine oil, salt and next 5 ingredients (salt through crushed red pepper) in a small skillet; cook over medium heat 2 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring constantly.
4. Combine spice mixture, sour cream, vinegar, and honey in a bowl; whisk well. Add to broccoli mixture; toss well to coat. Stir in green onions just before serving, and sprinkle with nuts.
