Boiled Cauliflower(Kokt Blomkaal)  

Ingredients:
- 1 head cauliflower
- 2 qt. water (or to cover)
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 3 Tbsp. melted butter
- finely chopped parsley

Directions:
- Remove cauliflower's large outer leaves.
- Cut the stalk off to about 1-inch and cut a deep cross on the end to make it cook quicker.
- Bring water and salt to boil.
- Put cauliflower in, head up, and boil for 3 minutes.
- Remove cauliflower from boiling water and pour cold water over it to cool it.
- (This keeps the cauliflower white.)
- Place cauliflower back into the boiling water, head down this time, and boil for about 20 minutes, being careful not to overcook.
- Serve cauliflower on a platter with melted butter poured over it and sprinkled with parsley.
- Save water and any leftovers for cauliflower soup.
