  1. This is a great way to prepare cauliflower! Nice flavor and nothing overpowering, it would make a great side dish for pretty much anything. Thanks for sharing the recipe! Made for ZWT9, The Apron String Travelers
     
  2. I made this for lunch today and it came out really good. I did add some more heat to it (Tabasco) and if I had thought about it, I would have added some vodka and made it a greek bloody mary served in a really tall glass with a long spoon! LOL :-)
     
  3. This was an interesting way to prepare cauliflower. I thought the addition of the tomato juice gave the cauliflower a Greek flavor to the dish. I think that the dish might benefit from a little more spice than just garlic and parsley. Made for ZWT9
