"It's amazing how meaty cauliflower can be." -Alex Guarnaschelli
The refrigerator light goes on...
A little bit of butter goes a long way. On its own butter makes a great enhancement for your sauces and such, and just a teaspoon per serving can make a huge difference in adding richness to a recipe. This is especially true with lightly browned butter.
Browning brings out butter's nuttiness and that, combined with the rich texture of butter, can make something simple like steamed cauliflower into a whole new dish. You can serve this cauliflower on its own as a side dish, but it is also great with a bit of sauce or chilled in salads.

Melt the butter, and as it begins to turn brown, adjust the heat so that the butter browns but does not burn.
