DIRECTIONS

1. Add about 1½ cups of water to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Add cauliflower to a steam basket and steam for 8 minutes or until cauliflower is soft when you insert the tip of a knife. 2. Transfer cauliflower to a food processor and add all of the other ingredients. 3. Process all ingredients for about 3 minutes or until you have a saucelike consistency. 4. Taste, and adjust flavours if you would like. 5. Serve immediately.

This sauce will keep for about two days.
