- 1 Teaspoon Lemon Zest

Instructions
- Cut Fioretto into bite-sized florets, and steam for 5-7 minutes, or until the florets are tender.

Notes
While tarragon and truffle salt elevate this dish astronomically, they are not necessary. The cream and cauliflower are a great base to make this dish your own by adding your favorite flavor combinations.
If you don't have aleppo pepper, just use regular black pepper.
If you want to make this, but can't find fioretto, you can also use a medium head of cauliflower.
