Deviled Cauliflower
(low fat, low calorie recipe)


 

I adapted this wonderful tasting recipe from the cookbook called The Mayo Clinic Williams-Sonoma Cookbook, by John Phillip Carroll, 1998.

The recipe is described as, "The word "deviled" indicates that a dish includes mustard and spices. This flavorful, low fat mustard-based topping adds a devilish twist to steamed and then baked cauliflower. Serve it as a complement to pasta or grain dishes. Try the same topping and technique with other cruciferous  vegetables."
