Equipment
- 1 large skillet
- 1 spatula
- measuring cups
- measuring spoons
- 1 sharp knife to cut vegetables
Ingredients
- 2 large heads cauliflower washed and cut up in florets
- 7 slices thick-cut bacon cut in one-inch pieces and fried crisp (this was 1/2 lb. bacon)
- 1/2 medium onion chopped fine
- 1/2 tsp. Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp. Tony's Creole Seasoning or to taste (see note below)
Instructions
- Fry bacon in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until crisp; remove to paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
- Be careful to avoid frying at too high a temperature or too long so that the bacon scorches!
- After frying the bacon strips in a non-stick skillet, put the cauliflower florets and onion in the bacon drippings and fry slowly.
- Do not add liquid.
- Just set the lid on the pot at an angle where the liquid from the steam drips down into the skillet.
- Add seasonings.
- When cauliflower is almost tender, add bacon back into the skillet.
- Remove from heat when cauliflower florets are tender and just starting to brown.
Notes
NOTE: I sprinkled about 3/8 teaspoon of Tony’s Creole Seasoning on the finished cauliflower. This is a preference amount. Season to your taste.
