Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cauliflower

    Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower head. Cut the cauliflower into florets of even size, roughly 1-2 inches each for uniform cooking.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Boil the Cauliflower

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add the cauliflower florets and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender but still firm. Drain and set aside.

  2. 3

    Prepare the Black Butter

    In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Allow it to cook until it begins to foam and then turns a deep brown color, stirring frequently to prevent burning. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 4

    Combine Cauliflower with Black Butter

    Add the cooked cauliflower to the skillet with the black butter. Toss gently to coat the florets evenly. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  4. 5

    Finish with Lemon and Parsley

    Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle fresh lemon juice over the coated cauliflower. Sprinkle chopped parsley on top for garnish and additional flavor. Toss lightly to combine.
