A delightful and flavorful dish featuring tender cauliflower florets infused with a zesty lemon and garlic sauce, perfect as a side dish or light meal.
Prepare the cauliflower by cutting it into bite-sized florets.
Cut the florets into even sizes to ensure uniform cooking.
In a large saucepan, add about an inch of water and bring it to a boil.
Use a saucepan with a lid to retain steam.
Place the cauliflower florets in a steamer basket and set it over the boiling water. Cover and steam for 10-12 minutes until tender.
Check the cauliflower with a fork to ensure it's tender but not mushy.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Stir constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.
Stir in the lemon juice, grated lemon peel, salt, and pepper into the garlic butter. Cook for another 2 minutes.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Transfer the steamed cauliflower to a serving bowl. Drizzle the lemon-garlic sauce over the top.
Toss gently to coat the cauliflower evenly with the sauce.
Sprinkle the dish with grated parmesan cheese and chopped parsley before serving.
Serve immediately to enjoy the dish at its best flavor and texture.
