Homegrown Vegetables
You may have read that in August I harvested 6 heads of cauliflower from my Raised-Bed Vegetable Garden. This Cauliflower Shrimp Stir Fry was the dish I cooked that very same day. I also harvested 2 onions and some basil leaves to make the stir fry more colorful and flavorful.
Since the produce were super fresh, I kept the seasonings to a minimum just so we can taste the sweetness of the vegetables. The basil leaves were used more like a garnish but it did lend a fresh taste to the stir fry.

It was a pity our homegrown carrots were not ready for harvesting at that time or I would have pulled out some for this stir fry.
