Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4

Ingredients

1 cauliflower
Salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic (optional)
Juice of 1 lemon
Pepper

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Wash and trim the cauliflower and cut it into florets. Boil in salted water until just tender, then drain.

    Step 2

    Heat 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil in a pan. Some like to soften a little crushed garlic in the oil. Add the lemon juice, salt, and pepper and turn the cauliflower in this over low heat. It will absorb the oil and lemon.

    Step 3

    Some serve it with tarator bi tahina (page 65).
