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.
