Cauliflower Cashew Raisin Stir Fry




This delicious aromatic cauliflower and cashew stir fry is easy to make and can be eaten as a simple side dish or served over gluten free ( or regular ) pasta, brown rice, or quinoa for a more filling entree.
I love the mixture of flavors in the recipe and the crunchiness of the raw cashews!

The stir fry gets its rich color from the orange golden turmeric. Since reading about the benefits of turmeric, I have been trying to find ways to incorporate more of it in to my food. Turmeric is a spice that is loaded with antioxidants,  thought to be anti-inflammatory, and considered great for the brain. It has a very mild flavor that enhances most food. Just beware its brilliant yellow color  will stain ( I mean big time) so be careful of your counter tops, tablecloths and clothing!

I bought the raw cashews and organic raisins from Trader Joes, which tends to be a little more reasonable on the price.
