Notes
f you choose to use frozen peas, they will thaw quickly when you add the hot steamed cauliflower and allow to sit 5 minutes. We can change this up in so many ways. This is how i made the recipe yesterday. I did top with a sprinkling of fresh Italian parsley + slivers of basil, just prior to serving.
