Fall vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, mustard greens, and cauliflower are here for just a few more weeks, so take advantage of them now!

Remember to thoroughly wash your market cauliflower before using it. Dissolve 1/4 cup salt in warm water and add cut cauliflower. Fill the rest of the bowl with cold water, and soak for 1/2 hour. Rinse thoroughly and several times, and then enjoy this tasty Cajun hash recipe from Tait Farm.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons Tait Farm olive and basil oil
1 small onion, diced
1 celery stalk, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups cauliflower, chopped small
1 cup potatoes, diced small
chili powder, thyme, and cayenne pepper
salt and pepper
fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery, and bell pepper; sauté. Add the garlic and cook for a couple more minutes. Add the cauliflower, potatoes and spices; sauté. Add 1/4 cup water to steam lightly and toss well. Cook until vegetables are tender and begin to brown slightly. Finish with the parsley.
