Skillet Tuscan Cauliflower

What I love about this side dish is that it is made in a single skillet, is low carb/Keto, and has the robust flavors of Tuscany.

Those bright flavors turn cauliflower into a side dish you might want to eat as the main dish. In fact, you could add a bit more non-dairy milk or heavy cream (I didn't have any in the house when I made this.) Thanks to COVID-19 :-( and toss it with cooked low carb pasta for a vegetarian main dish. It would also be good with vegetarian sausage links, roast chicken or baked salmon.

Unfortunately, my nutritional analysis software company went out of business so my software no longer works. Sorry. I'm shopping for a new program and will update the recipe when I find a good program.
