      Fill a saucepan 3/4 full of water and bring to a boil. Add in the cauliflower pieces and cook until soft but not mushy. This will take about 8-10 minutes. Drain water off the cauliflower using a colander, then rinse under cold water for a couple of minutes. This will stop the cauliflower from cooking longer. Let it drain. Use a paper towel to blot the cauliflower pieces and remove excess moisture.
