I like the fact that this is so low-fat and low-carb. I'm generally not a fan of cauliflower, but I like this. I will make two changes in the future, however. We thought it was a bit to lemony for our tastes, so we'll use one lemon next time instead of two. Also, we didn't have any fresh dill, so we used 2 teaspoons of dried dill, which is the equivalent of 2 Tablespoons of fresh dill. It was too potent for us, so we'll use just 1 tablespoon of fresh dill next time. Thanks for posting this. Good diet food!

I omitted the mustard (allergy), and this turned out so well. My husband said it was the best cauliflower he'd ever eaten. Really tangy, and it tasted like it was grilled on the bbq. Great recipe!

I also really liked this very different way of preparing cauliflower, much as we love cauliCheese!!! The children are not wild about mustard, but ate this fairly happily, my husband and I loved it. I had used frozen cauliflower and it did end up a little mushy, next time I'll try it with fresh. But it didnt affect the taste. I served it with pork Spare-Ribs and Baby Roasted Potatoes and Creamed Spinach.
