� tsp salt
1 Tbsp soft tub margarine
1/8 tsp ground black pepper

cauliflower. Cut into individual florets.

over high heat. Reduce heat to medium. Steam for
5�8 minutes, until easily pierced with a sharp knife.
Do not overcook.
4 While cauliflower steams, break toast into small
pieces. Pulse toast in food processor until mediumsized
crumbs form. Tip: If you don�t have a food
processor, break or crush the toasted bread into finer
pieces or buy whole-wheat breadcrumbs and use
2 tablespoons.

margarine in another pan over medium heat. Add
breadcrumbs and pepper. Cook and stir, about
5 minutes. Add cauliflower to pan with breadcrumbs.
