Step-by-Step Method
Prep the vegetables
Rinse and drain the cauliflower florets. Slice the red pepper and mince the garlic.
Warm the pan
Set a wide skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and let it heat gently.
Sauté the cauliflower
Add cauliflower and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring so it picks up a little color.
Add the pepper
Stir in the sliced red bell pepper and cook for about 1 minute.
Steam to finish
Pour in the water and cover. Steam for 3–4 minutes until the cauliflower is tender-crisp.
Stir in garlic at the end
Uncover, add garlic, and cook 30–60 seconds, stirring. Keep it moving so the garlic doesn’t burn.
Serve
Season with salt and black pepper if you like, then serve warm.
