Italian-style Cauliflower

My mom used to make this cauliflower growing up and you know if a kid loves cauliflower, it must be pretty good. She found the recipe years ago in a cookbook she picked up on a trip to Italy, so it's authentic! It's a great side dish, and easy enough to not interfere with your time spent on the main dish.


Italian-style Cauliflower

Cauliflower florets cut from a whole head
1 T margarine
2 T olive oil
1 clove minced garlic
1/8 c chopped parsley or a few T of dried
1/4 c ketchup
1/3 c water

Place margarine, olive oil, garlic, and parsley into a skillet. Saute garlic. Add cauliflower and let simmer a few minutes until sauteed, while continuing to stir. Mix ketchup and water in a small dish and then add to skillet. Let simmer covered, until cauliflower is thoroughly cooked, turning florets until coated.
