Ingredients
1 head (1Ā 3/4 pounds) cauliflower, stem and tough stalks trimmed, florets roughly chopped
1 cup water or chicken stock, preferably homemade

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
Preparation
Step 1
Combine the cauliflower and water or stock in a medium saucepan, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until the cauliflower is very tender, about 10 minutes.
