Categories     Cauliflower

Time 16m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

vegetable oil cooking spray
1 medium cauliflower, break into florets
1 -2 teaspoon water (or just the water left on the cauliflower from washing)
3 -4 green onions, chopped
1/2 cup sweet red pepper, chopped
1/2 cup sweet green pepper, chopped
1/2 cup yellow sweet pepper, chopped
cayenne pepper
salt
2 -3 tablespoons black olives, chopped
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • spray a microwave safe casserole with veggie oil.
  • Place cauliflower florets in casserole.
  • Add water if needed.
  • Chop all the peppers and green onion and sprinkle over the cauliflower.
  • Sprinkle salt and cayenne over to taste.
  • Mix a little to distribute everything evenly.
  • Cover and microwave on high for about 4 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender crisp.
  • (depends on how much cauliflower is used).
  • If you do not have a turntable in the micro, you might want to stir once, halfway through.
  • Remove from oven and sprinkle olives and cheese over top.
  • Cover and microwave for 10 to 20 seconds or just until the cheese barely melts.
  • Remove from oven and let stand covered for 5 minutes before serving.
  • I cook this in the serving dish, it does not have a lid, so I cover it with plastic wrap, with just one tiny steam vent, cut in the centre.
  • Don't want to loose too much cooking steam.
