"from "Everyday Food" Magazine. Haven't tried this yet, but think my hubby will love it. Obviously, if you like your chops more cooked then up the frying time."

An easy recipe to follow, impressive results. This cauliflower is amaaaazingly good!!!It was done before my lamb chops and I couldn't stop helping myself to more. I used parchment paper over the baking sheet, and tossed the cauliflower, onions, oil and seasonings in a bowl prior to turning out onto the sheet. Served basmati alongside and thought the yogurt sauce outstandingly good on top of the rice and cauliflower. Haven't said anything about the lamb, and I guess in this case it was the quiet but welcome accompaniment to the other spectacular aspects of this meal. Thank you for posting!
