For a richer flavor, brown the butter lightly in a pan before adding it to the cauliflower. Be careful not to burn the butter. If you don't have a microwave, you can steam the cauliflower in a steamer basket over boiling water for about 5-7 minutes, or until tender. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat. This dish pairs perfectly with grilled chicken, fish, or tofu.
