Begin by steaming just over 2 cups of raw cauliflower florets in a small amount of water, covered, for approximately 4 to 5 minutes or until they become tender yet still firm. Once cooked, drain thoroughly and pat dry using a paper towel. Finely chop the florets with a knife and set aside 2 cups for the recipe.
