Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until they are translucent.

    Add the Vegetables

    Add the chopped cauliflower and Jerusalem artichokes to the pot. Stir for a few minutes to combine.
