I Found My Charger in The Cacciatora!

...well I didn't actually find my camera battery charger in the dish but it's my segway..
Quite a few posts ago I mentioned that I wanted to get away from phone blogging and get back to taking pictures with my lovely Canon and sitting down in front of a real screen to make my entries.
My husband's friend was visiting and found the damn charger buried in the couch! (Hubby can attest that when I "look" for lost things it's really just a scan of the rooms...also, I can't put a lid on anything correctly to save my life...but that's another thing..)
This is officially my last post using my phone. (Obviously the occasional photo may happen but it's my intention to not make it my device of choice.)
..Said friend who found the charger also brought over a couple books for me, now that I've gotten the cooking bug.
Saveur Cooks: Authentic Italian (by the editors of Saveur Magazine.
(Wonderful photography in the book and loads of recipes I am excited to try.)

A few nights ago I did Pollo Alla Cacciatora.. which is a recipe I've been inherently doing for awhile now without guidelines..
It came out lovely using the recipe from the book, and it was very easy, tasty, and I recommend this dish for gatherings because it presents well, looks fancy, and really doesn't come with stress.

Cauli-Flower Power

Aka Tete's cauliflower dish with cilantro, garlic,  and lemon.

I love this dish.  My mother in law makes it for me anytime we stay with her because her own kids don't care for it. ..but I just can't get enough.

Take a head of cauliflower and cut into crude chunks. 
Heat pan with oil (I used olive oil, but Tete said regular oil, or fancy flavored olive oils work well too) add enough water for steaming.  (1/4 cup ish)
Sauté cauliflower in pan on a low heat for around 15min or until it is soft enough to split with a fork and water has evaporated.   During this time add some salt, pepper, and red pepper.
Add between. .2 and 5 cloves of minced garlic (pending your love of garlic) and a fair amount of chopped cilantro (maybe around 2 or 3 handfuls) ..keep cooking on slow for not longer than 2 min...you don't want to cook the garlic, just get everything mixed in. 
Serve with a lemon.
If you enjoy lemon the way we do in this family than know you may go through two lemons for one head of cauliflower! 

With Meat: first cook ground beef in oil with red pepper, salt, then resume recipe from the top.

Baby loves this dish.

Enjoy!  Would love to know of any variations of this dish too.
