Found this recipe in the August 2013 issue of Instyle from award winning chef Michael Chiarello and it was love at first sight. I knew I HAD to make it immediately. Since going Paleo, I’m always amazed at the versatility of cauliflower. I’ve made cauliflower mash and cauliflower rice, why has it not occurred to me to slice and grill?
Chef Chiarello’s recipe calls for cooking on the grill using a cast iron skillet. I was in a rush and had other things going on that night and decided to do this stove top. Turned out perfecto.
