I was pretty happy to come across this side dish as a flavorful recipe to have around when I'm watching my calories.
Prep Time:15 min

Ingredients:
6 cups water
1/2 medium lemon
4 cups cauliflower florets (about 1 small head)
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 large cloves garlic, minced
3 Tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons capers, drained

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.
