Easy and quick recipe to upgrade your cauliflower using the Ethiopian berbere spice blend.

I love cauliflower cooked in many ways but flavoring it with the Ethiopian spice mix berbere is my favorite of all. This Ethiopian cauliflower recipe can be done fast and it’s very easy to make, with only four ingredients.

Cauliflower is also a good vegetable for Ethiopian stews because it cooks quickly on a simmer and takes on the flavor of the mild sauce, or kulet . Cauliflower also roasts well. In fact, another popular way to make an Ethiopian cauliflower side dish is to coat a whole head of cauliflower with olive oil, salt, and berbere spice and roast it in the oven.

I prefer the speed and the texture of pan-fried cauliflower. Making cauliflower this way is so quick to prepare and offers a perfect canvas for whatever spices you want to showcase. Plus, in the summer, this way is better than cooking in a hot oven. Check out my simple and quick recipe below!
