Steamed Cauliflower In The Buff Recipes

STEAMED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Remove and discard any outer leaves on the cauliflower. Halve through the stem and cut out and remove the inner core. Break the cauliflower into florets.
• Pour about an inch of water into a skillet or wok and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Put the cauliflower florets in a steamer basket and season with salt. Set the steamer basket over the boiling water and cook until tender, 4 to 8 minutes depending on the size of the florets. Transfer the cauliflower to a plate, sprinkle with black pepper and serve.

Steps:

• Chop the cauliflower into florets.
• Place 1 1/2 cups water into a saucepan or pot. If using a steamer basket without a handle, add it to the pot now: the water surface should be right under the basket. Bring the water to a boil.
• Once boiling, add the cauliflower (in the steamer basket, if it has a handle). Steam with the lid on 10 to 12 minutes until just tender, testing with a fork to assess whether it's done.
• Carefully remove the cauliflower to a bowl, draining any excess liquid. Toss with the remaining ingredients and serve. (Store leftovers refrigerated.)
