Braised Cauliflowers

A truly enjoyabe meal and easily prepared...The ones available locally

 come from the Mediterranean area (Spain, Italy & France).

 Cauliflower is rich in Vitamin C , low in fat and carbohydrates.

  I prefer to cook it with liquid.. Hope you enjoy this as much as we enjoyed it at home..
