Low Calorie – Low Carb – Diabetic Friendly
Deviled Cauliflower recipe is described as “deviled” because dish includes mustard and spices. The word “deviled” in cooking means a highly seasoned, dish that is served hot or cold. Many foods, including eggs and crab, are served “deviled.” Check out What’s Cooking America’s Culinary Dictionary.
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.
I slightly adapted this wonderful tasting Deviled Cauliflower recipe from the cookbook called The Mayo Clinic Williams-Sonoma Cookbook, by John Phillip Carroll, 1998.

Wash, remove core and leaves, trim, and coarsely chop the cauliflower. Also make sure there are no brown or black spots on it. If so, remove with a paring knife. Chop the fresh cauliflower into small florets.
