2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced

1 1/2 teaspoons red pepper flakes

1 large head cauliflower, separated into flowerets

1/3 cup fresh lemon juice

Heat olive oil in a small skillet, add garlic and red pepper flakes. Remove from

Using a large saucepan, place cauliflower in a steamer rack over boiling water.

Cover and cook until firm but tender. Place into a glass medium-sized bowl.

Add lemon juice and grated peel to cooled flavored oil and mix well. Pour over

warm cauliflower; toss gently and cool, covered, to room temperature. Just

before serving, too with chopped cilantro. Sprinkle with coarse salt, if

desired.
