"We love cauliflower and I'm always looking for new ways to prepare it. I usually avoid anchovies but gave it a shot with this recipe and we really enjoyed them. I found this in the Chicago Tribune."

ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil
4 salted anchovies, rinsed, minced
3 garlic cloves, minced
¹⁄₄ teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
1 ¹⁄₄ lbs baby cauliflower florets (about 6 cups) or 1 1/4 lbs regular cauliflower florets (about 6 cups)
¹⁄₂ cup water
3 tablespoons capers
¹⁄₄ cup chopped parsley

directions

Combine oil and anchovies in a skillet over medium-low heat; cook, stirring, until anchovies begin to melt into the oil, about 1 minute.
Add garlic and red pepper flakes; cook until garlic softens, about 3 minutes; add cauliflower florets and 1/2 cup water; cover, cook on medium-low until the florets are soft enough to be pierced with a knife, but not so soft that they can be crushed, about 7 minutes.
Uncover; raise heat to high, cook, stirring, until water evaporates, leaving a thin layer of syrup in the bottom of the pan, about 5 minutes.
Add capers and parsley and season with salt.

Had this last night and the whole family enjoyed. I didnt add any extra salt however because of the anchovies and capers and it was just salty enough.
