Ingredients
- 1 cauliflower head, about 2 pounds
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 small lemon (juice and zest)
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- salt, for steaming water
This easy, attractive dish has a mild flavor and tastes as good as it looks.
Directions
- Trim cauliflower: remove leaves and leaf stalks. Turn head over and trim out the center
of the core, but not so much that the florets fall apart.
Heat about 2 inches salted water in
the bottom of a steamer. Put whole head in the steamer basket and cook just until a sharp knife
can pierce it with a slight resistance, 10-20 minutes, depending on the size of the head. Don't
overcook; it will continue to cook from residual heat.
While the cauliflower cooks, heat butter
in a small saucepan until it just begins to brown. This will not take very long--watch closely so
it doesn't burn. Zest the lemon, then cut in half and squeeze out the juice. Add to browned butter.
