Zesty Cauliflower and Olive Snack Medley

Ingredients

- 1 medium-sized cauliflower head, broken into florets
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 sweet bell peppers (any color), sliced
- 2 stalks of celery, chopped
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 cup pimento stuffed olives, sliced
- 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup olive oil

Instructions

1. Prep the Vegetables: Begin by preparing your vegetables. Break the cauliflower into small, bite-sized florets. Chop the onion, mince the garlic, slice the bell peppers, chop the celery, and dice the carrots.

2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers.

3. Sauté Aromatics: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan. Sauté for about 3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant.

4. Add Vegetables and Seasonings: Stir in the cauliflower, bell peppers, celery, and carrots. Sprinkle with dried oregano, sea salt, sugar, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix well to combine the ingredients evenly.

5. Cooking: Continue cooking the mixture, stirring occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes on medium heat until the vegetables are tender but still have a slight crunch.

6. Add Olives and Vinegar: Add the sliced pimento stuffed olives and pour in the white wine vinegar. Stir well to coat the vegetables and olives with the vinegar and allow it to evaporate slightly, which should take about 2 minutes.

7. Final Touch: Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper according to your preference.

8. Serve: Transfer the Zesty Cauliflower and Olive Snack Medley to a serving dish. It can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
