Threw in some white beans and served over rice. Great meal.
Saw this recipe on your home page and caught my eye as my wife and I frequently enjoy cauliflower.
I usually roast, sometimes with..sometimes without broccoli. I like this different spin from my prep. Always enjoy a taste of lemon…capers a plus to !
Thanks for the alternative idea.
