Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, chopped)
Instructions
Remove the outer leaves of the cauliflower and cut it into florets. Rinse thoroughly under cold water.
Fill a large pot with enough water to cover the cauliflower. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and bring it to a boil.
Add the cauliflower florets to the boiling water and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until they are tender but not mushy. Drain the cauliflower and set it aside.
In a large skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the breadcrumbs to the melted butter and toast them, stirring constantly, until they become golden and fragrant. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
Season the breadcrumb mixture with salt and black pepper to taste.
Arrange the cooked cauliflower florets on a serving dish and sprinkle the buttered breadcrumbs evenly over the top.
If desired, garnish the dish with chopped fresh parsley for color and extra flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy as a side dish or a vegetarian main course.
