Steamed Cauliflower with Almond Chermoula

This recipe was originally featured on Vegan Miam in 2012, part of a series with recipes for a lighter, healthier menu, to be part of a detox.  I thought I add them, though the photo is not the best and my recipe writing skills have come a long was since 2012!

The almond chermoula and the steamed cauliflower work really well together. If you watch your fat intake, use the chermoula sparingly.
