Ingredients

Instructions
 

  • Trim the stem from the cauliflower and cut it into small florets.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and simmer just until tender, about 8 minutes.

  • Transfer the mixture to a bowl, stir in the chives, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve topped with additional chopped chives.

Notes

All it takes is a dab of cream cheese, a sprinkle of Parmesan and chopped fresh chives to transform an ordinary vegetable into an extraordinary side dish.
