For the past few years, I lived with friends who hated cauliflower. Now, in my own kitchen, I am realizing how much I missed it---at least in a presentation like this. I'm eating it as I write--can't wait--even my slightly wimpy version (reduced heat) is magnificent. Just the right amount of olive oil, of spring onions (which I lucked into at our rather meager farmers' market today) and garlic. And the cilantro is SO perfect with the hint of heat. Thank you, CG. I am truly grateful.

Great recipe! This was easy to make and the right amount of heat for the kids and myself. I used my Cuisinart Turbo Convection Steamer to steam the cauliflower. I wish I would have sauteed the next three veggies before adding the cauliflour, as it was harder to stir around. I made this for the NAME Tag Game 2006

Easy to prepare... I was being lazy so I used garlic powder instead of fresh garlic. I substituted onions for the scallions & harissa for the pepper & chili. I also added about a tablespoon of lemon juice to the mix. I made this for my husband & he rated it 4 stars. I asked for a description to put on the review & the only comment I could get out of him was "spicy & it has a good taste". :P
