Instructions
- Place the bread in a toaster oven on very low heat. Toast as long as possible without burning (about 5 minutes).
- While bread toasts, trim leaves and stalks from cauliflower. Cut into individual florets.
- Place 1 inch of water in a 4-quart pot with lid. Insert steamer basket, and place cauliflower in basket. Sprinkle with salt. Cover. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium. Steam for 5–8 minutes, until easily pierced with a sharp knife. Do not overcook.
- While cauliflower steams, break toast into small pieces. Pulse toast in food processor until medium-sized 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.
- When cauliflower is done, remove from heat. Melt margarine in another pan over medium heat. Add breadcrumbs and pepper. Cook and stir, about 5 minutes. Add cauliflower to pan with breadcrumbs. Toss until well coated. Serve immediately.
