Cauliflower with Paprika Crumbs

Total time: 20 minutes
    If you want to be really decadent toss the cauliflower with another pat of butter before adding the crumbs.... I didn't.  Toasting the paprika and thyme with the bread crumbs releases the flavors.

 Ingredients:

• 1/3 head cauliflower, 275gr, 9.7oz
• 1/4 cup dry bread crumbs, 27gr, .95oz
• 2 tsp paprika, 4.2gr, .15oz
• 1 tsp thyme
• 1 clove garlic, 4gr, .14oz
• 2 tbs butter, 28.4gr, 1oz
• 1/8 tsp salt

 Instructions:

• Cut cauliflower into bite size florets and stems.
• Put in a steamer basket in a saucepan with an inch of water in the bottom.  Put on medium heat and steam for 15 minutes or until done.
• Remove cauliflower and cover with the pan lid to keep warm.
• Pour out water and return the pan to heat.
• Mince garlic.
• Melt the butter in the pan, add the garlic and sauté until tender, about 3 minutes.
• Add bread crumbs, paprika, thyme and salt and sauté, stirring, until crumbs are golden, 2 - 3 minutes longer.
• Sprinkle over cauliflower and serve.
