  1. I am rating this on the final result. OMG the BEST cauliflower we've had EVER. The vinegar really makes it sing! BUT I worry about the proportions. I only used 1 small cauliflower - less than 1lb. I made the regular amount of sauce. I had missed the part about that cooking for 30 minutes. I hadn't accounted for the time so I cranked the heat & reduced it in 10 minutes. I don't see how that liquid could cook for 30 minutes at anything but the lowest simmer & still have enough for 6lbs of cauli? Anyway, I added the cauli to the reduced sauce, turned it down a but, put the lid on & let it cook for 30 minutes. When it was soft, all that was left was the oil. I used a slotted spoon to scoop out the cauli & garlic (OH!! for 40ml garlic: 1 average clove is 5ml). We sprinkled some salt at the end. 1 small head was enough for 2 good sized servings which we devoured. Made for ZWT9, Mike & the Appliance Killers. :)
