Fixed Up Cauliflower

NEED:
1 small head cauliflower or 3 cups frozen cauliflower
1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
1 stalk celery, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons lower-sodium chicken broth or water
1 tablespoon chopped drained canned pimientos
1 teaspoon sugar
1⁄4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1⁄8 teaspoon black pepper

Cut fresh cauliflower into flowerets. In a large saucepan, bring 1⁄2 inch of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the cauliflower. Lower the heat and simmer, covered, for 8 to 10 minutes or until crisp-tender. (Or, cook the frozen cauliflower according to package directions.) Drain; transfer cauliflower to a serving bowl.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat the oil over moderate heat. Add the celery and cook for 5 minutes or until tender. Stir in the vinegar, chicken broth, pimientos, sugar, thyme, and pepper. Drizzle over the cauliflower and toss until mixed.

ENJOY!
