Either keep cauliflower in the pot and take straight to the table or carefully transfer to a serving platter and squeeze the lemon juice over the top. Spoon crisp breadcrumbs over the top to serve, letting some fall down into the cooking juices at the sides. A chicory or rocket salad and perhaps some mustard dressed lentil go well her too.
