Equipment

Ingredients

1 head cauliflower cut into florets (2-3 cups)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 teaspoons garlic minced
1 teaspoon hot sauce
2 tablespoons cilantro chopped (parsley also works just fine)
½ teaspoon Cajun seasoning

Instructions

Bring 1 quart of lightly salted water to a boil in a large pot.
Add the cauliflower and boil gently until starting to get tender, about 3 minutes. Drain well.
Place the butter in a large skillet over high heat. Once hot, add the garlic and cook 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
Add the cauliflower and stir until the cauliflower is slightly browned, about 4 minutes.
Remove from the heat, stir in the pepper sauce, cilantro and Cajun spice blend, and toss gently.
