Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 medium head cauliflower, leaves removed and base trimmed
3 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed
8 ounces pitted green olives
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf (Italian) parsley
1 teaspoon minced garlic
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Place a steamer insert into a pot and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Place cauliflower in the insert, drizzle with olive oil, and spread olives around it; spread parsley and garlic on top and season with salt.
  • Cover and cook over medium to low heat until a skewer easily pierces the cauliflower and the center is soft, 15 to 20 minutes. Add a couple of tablespoons of water during cooking to avoid burning.
