Cauliflower and Roasted Red Peppers

Most people won't cook cauliflower because it is thought of as bland and boring. This Italian style cauliflower is full of flavor, easy to prepare (cooked in the microwave), healthy, and memorable, and aren't we really into memorable this year.. :)

• 1 head cauliflower, broken into florets
• 1 roasted, red bell pepper, julliened
• 1 clove garlic, chopped
• 2 Tbs olive oil
• 1/4 tsp white pepper
• 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated

   1. In a large microwavable bowl or cassarole dish, combine the cauliflower, bell pepper, garlic, white pepper, and olive oil.
   2. Cover and cook on full power for 6 to 8 minutes. The cauliflower should be crisp tender, not mushy.
   3. Mix in the grated cheese and serve.

Note: Don't let the cauliflower stand too long, it will become mushy.
To easily seperate the cauliflower, wash and then grasp the head firmly. Smash the stem down onto a cutting board. The cauliflower should break apart.

Carlo, can you help? I think I'll be fixing fish this Christmas Eve instead of our normal clam chowder. Do you have any recipes or recommendations for making either red snapper or grouper especially delicious?

I'll also have access to shrimp. LOTS of shrimp. Would appreciate any ideas you have for shrimp too.

Thanks, and I'm so glad to read you are doing well. Prayers lifted for your continued smooth recovery and strength to return quickly.
