The quantities follow this count.

2 lb cauliflower, cut into florets
4 tbsp butter
1/3 cup dry breadcrumbs
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

How to cook it

Put the cauliflower florets in a pot of salted boiling water and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until tender but not falling apart, then drain well and arrange on a serving plate.
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook until it turns a light golden brown and smells nutty, about 3 minutes.
Add the breadcrumbs to the browned butter and toast, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes, until golden and crisp.
Season the crumbs with the salt and pepper, then pour the whole mixture over the cauliflower and scatter the parsley on top; the boiled vegetable course beside a meat, not the baked cheese casserole of a Blumenkohlauflauf.
