Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the cauliflower thoroughly.
- Break the cauliflower into bite-sized florets.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the cauliflower florets to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to turn golden brown and are just tender, about 7-10 minutes.
- While the cauliflower is cooking, melt the butter in a small saucepan or in the microwave.
- Stir in the tarragon, mixing well to combine. If using dried tarragon, let it sit for a couple of minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Pour the tarragon butter over the cooked cauliflower in the skillet. Toss well to ensure the cauliflower is evenly coated with the butter.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the cauliflower to a serving dish.
- Garnish with additional fresh tarragon if desired.
- Serve warm as a delicious side dish.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, firm cauliflower with no brown spots or blemishes for the best results.
- Cut the cauliflower into even-sized florets to ensure uniform cooking.
- You can steam or blanch the cauliflower before sautéing to reduce cooking time and retain more nutrients.
- If you prefer a richer flavor, you can increase the amount of butter used.
- Feel free to experiment with additional herbs or spices, such as garlic or parsley, to personalize the dish.
- Serve the cauliflower immediately after cooking to enjoy its best flavor and texture.
