At the tail end of Farmers Market season, cauliflower and broccoli are amongst the last vegetables standing. I'm usually not a huge broccoli fan, but even I can't stop eating it when it's prepared this way. It's become my new favorite breakfast. I'm not the only one who finds this completely addictive. Multiple other non-broccoli lovers have confirmed that this is completely addictive. At a recent party of not particularly health conscience gluten-eaters, it was the first thing to go. There were leftovers—in the form of traditional gluten-filled pizza. Victory.
It's also a great Thanksgiving side dish as an alternative to all of those weird broccoli and green been concoctions with odd hard fried things that debut on Thanksgiving and are sure to make your stomach miserable.
