- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

This was a good way to make cauliflower a bit more exciting. My only critique is that the cauliflower was pretty dry, despite the 3 tablespoons of olive oil in the recipe. I didn't bother with the parsley as I don't love the flavor and thought it was included for color more than anything.05/28/10
