I am not a fan of cauliflower and am always looking for palatable ways to prepare it that don't involve lots of cheese or mayo. This recipe is easy and quite tasty. Lemon, capers, and garlic can make just about anything taste good, and this recipe is no exception. Next time I am trying to prepare it using only one pan: a large skillet.
