Cauliflower with Bread Crumbs

Ingredients

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Whirl 1 or 2 slices of bread in a food processor until reduced to crumbs. Heat a little nonhydrogenated margarine in a small skillet, add the crumbs, and toast over medium heat until golden, about 5 minutes. Set aside. Cut a medium head of cauliflower into bite-size pieces. Combine in a large skillet or stir-fry pan with about 1/2 cup water. Cover and steam over medium heat until tender but still firm, about 8 minutes. Stir occasionally. Drain any water remaining in the pan. Stir in the bread crumbs and sprinkle with a little paprika.
