From the Test Kitchen

To top a simple bed of garlic white rice, we’re bringing together a duo of roasted poblano pepper and vadouvan-spiced cauliflower with vibrant sweet chili sauce—a popular condiment that tempers spicy red chili with vinegar, sugar, and more. It’s all finished with a drizzle of cooling mayonnaise mixed with our herbaceous cilantro sauce.

tips & techniques
Prepare the ingredients & make the sauce
1 Prepare the ingredients & make the sauce

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. Cut out and discard the core of the cauliflower; cut into small florets. Cut off and discard the stem of the pepper. Halve lengthwise; remove the ribs and seeds, then medium dice. Thoroughly wash your hands immediately after handling the pepper. In a large bowl, combine the diced pepper and 1 teaspoon of olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Stir to coat. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and cilantro sauce; season with salt and pepper. 

Roast the vegetables
2 Roast the vegetables

Line a sheet pan with foil. Place the cauliflower florets on the foil. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and the curry powder; toss to coat. Arrange in an even layer on one side of the sheet pan. Roast 14 minutes. Leaving the oven on, remove from the oven. Reserving the bowl, carefully add the seasoned pepper in an even layer to the other side of the sheet pan. Roast 10 to 12 minutes, or until the vegetables are browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven. 

Cook the rice

Meanwhile, in a small pot, combine the rice, chopped garlic, a big pinch of salt, and 1 cup of water. Stir to combine. Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low.
