Ingredients

• Cauliflower - 400 grams, cut into florets
• Olive oil - 4 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Salt - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
3. Add the cauliflower florets to the pot and stir well to coat them in the garlic oil.
4. Pour in the water, and add salt and black pepper. Cover the pot and cook for about 10 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.
5. Once the cauliflower is cooked, remove the lid and drizzle the lemon juice over the top.
