Wash & trim the cauliflower. Take care not to trim deep enough for the florets to come apart.

Fill the bottom vessel of your steamer (microwave safe) with water. Add little salt to it. Place trimmed cauliflower in the steam basket. Close the lid & place the whole contraption in microwave. Microwave it for 9-10 minutes. I use my microwave steamer for it, you can use any other steamer as well.

The head should be tender enough for a knife to pierce through it with little resistance, but should not be very soft. Switch off the microwave but allow the steamer to sit inside the microwave for another 3-5 minutes. This allows the residual steam to continue cooking the cauliflower.

Remove the steamer, strain the leftover water and plate the steamed cauliflower head in the serving dish.

While the cauliflower is steaming, heat the butter in a small pan, as soon as it begins to brown remove from flame and add lemon juice & the zest.

Pour the lemon butter sauce over the steamed cauliflower. Season with salt and pepper as per taste. Serve hot with bread.
