Cauliflower with Capers

D made this. It was easy. He really liked it. He is a fan of Chicken Piccata. I ate it. I'm not a fan of Chicken Piccata. It was ok, but I thought it was too lemony/capery. We'll have again though...

Cauliflower with Capers


Use small nonpareil (a French word meaning "unparalleled") capers for this side dish.


6 cups water
1/2 lemon
4 cups cauliflower florets (about 1 small head)
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons capers, drained
1/4 teaspoon salt

Bring 6 cups water and lemon half to a boil in a large saucepan. Add the cauliflower to pan; cook 3 minutes. Drain; discard lemon half.

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add cauliflower to pan; cook 12 minutes or until soft, stirring occasionally. Add garlic; cook 30 seconds or until lightly browned. Transfer cauliflower mixture to a large bowl. Add parsley and the remaining ingredients; toss well.
