Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 large onion, finely chopped

• 1 green bell pepper, seeded and diced

• 2 cups cauliflower florets, roughly chopped into 1/2-inch pieces

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tablespoon ground cumin

• 1 teaspoon chili powder

• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions:

In a large deep-sided skillet or pot, heat oil over medium-high heat and sauté onions and green peppers until soft. Add cauliflower and let cook, stirring frequently, until lightly browned, about 5 to 8 minutes. Add garlic, cumin, chili powder, cinnamon, cayenne, and salt, and let cook a few more minutes. Stir in black-eyed peas, tomato sauce, water, soy sauce, maple syrup and vinegar. Reduce heat to medium. Simmer, uncovered, for 15 to 20 minutes, or until cauliflower is fork tender.
