Cauliflower in Creamy Basil Sauce

 Cooking in the Nude for Wine Lovers, p. 83

½ head cauliflower, broken into florets

1 Tbsp. butter

2 Tbsp. whipping cream

1/8 tsp. cayenne

1 Tbsp. freshly minced basil

Dainty florets!


Steam cauliflower until tender.

Melt butter in frying pan over medium heat. Whisk in cream; add cayenne and basil.

Attractive, eh?


Pour over cauliflower and serve immediately.

A good accompaniment for some rosemary lamb chops.

My Rating: 4/5 "So few ingredients, but such a robust impression! Definitely a great way to make your cauliflower more interesting. And don't be scared of the cayenne; it's peppy but the dish isn't hot overall."
