If your kids turn their noses up at steamed cauliflower, try it this way. Cooking the cauliflower and pairing it with the sweet sauteed tomatoes totally changes the strong flavor of the often maligned vegetable to one that is tender, mildly sweet and slightly nutty. This dish is incredibly clean with only two ingredients that are not pantry staples. Ready in about 20 minutes, this is a great side for grilled flank steak, roasted pork tenderloin or chicken. Elevate this dish for a more adult dinner by stirring in some fresh mint after the dish is cooked and pairing it with a mild flakey white fish such as grouper or cod.
