Often, simple is best! The first time I tasted cauliflower (my mother never fixed it) I was convinced it tasted just like sweet corn. Plain, with butter, is still my favorite way to eat it.

- 1 tsp dried basil
Instructions:
- Cut cauliflower into pieces, put into a steamer and steam over water for 15 - 20 minutes until fork-tender.
- Remove and drain water from pan.
- In same pan melt butter.
- Add herbs, sauté lightly.
- Pour over cauliflower and serve - adding salt & pepper if desired.
