Another quick, delicious, and healthy meal idea. And if you like participating in “Meatless Monday”, this is the perfect recipe to try.
Throwing veggies in a sizzling wok with a few spices and seasoning, and you can’t go wrong. You can serve this over rice if you wish. I choose quinoa because I prefer it over rice, and it’s a great vegetarian protein source.
Cauliflower Stirfry and Quinoa (serves 2)
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 1 t. coconut oil
- 1 head of cauliflower, chopped
- 1 zucchini, chopped
- 1/2 green pepper, chopped
- 6 okra, chopped
- 2 T. coconut aminos (or tamari or soy sauce)
- 2 T. rice vinegar
- 1 t. ground ginger
- 1 t. minced garlic
- dash of ground black pepper
- 1 c. cooked quinoa
Directions: Heat a wok with 1 t. coconut oil. Saute onion until translucent. At medium to high heat, add all other ingredients except the quinoa. Stir and saute in the wok until the vegetables are fork tender. Divide the vegetables over 1/2 c. of cooked quinoa and serve.
Stirfry is one my favorite go-to dinner ideas when I’m in a time crunch and craving a plethora of veggies. You can really throw in whatever vegetables you have on hand. I just happened to have a head of cauliflower that needed to be used, but I wasn’t in the mood to go through the process of making cauli mash or pizza. So, instead . . . . . stirfry to the rescue!

Mmmm I love quinoa. I need to try cauliflower pizza crust sometime soon too!
Yummy! Easy and tasty is nice too!!
This looks tasty! I so wish John would eat it
Okra is on this list. I LOVE okra. So, I have to ask, where the heck can you find fresh okra? I have a hard time finding fresh okra — even in the summer.
Oh wow, this looks amazing!!! I haven’t eaten dinner yet and I want to reach through the screen and gobble this up!!!
I once made cauliflower hummus, it would have been really good except that I got way too carried away with the garlic so it was a little overpowering! I was too embarrassed to eat it at work hahah!
Mmmm, looks good to me. I’ve been on a cauli kick lately.
Looks delicious! I have some tricolor quinoa (Trader Joe’s) that would be perfect.
So simple and delicious! I just got hungry reading this and it’s no where near lunch time.
I never liked cauliflower growing up because it was always raw on veggie trays – but cooked, I love it! (and I am looking away form the onions).
I make a cauliflower mac n cheese that’s delicious – I need to make this again soon!

This looks great. I am a sucker for an easy but nutritious vegetarian dish. Stir-fries are an awesome way to incorporate grains, proteins, and veggies all into one dish.
I have never put okra in a stirfry before! Do you buy it fresh or frozen?
