As side dishes go, this one is very simple, and a delicious combination. Cooking seasonally and what is available will provide you with lots of surprise recipes like this one at a moments notice.
I love the green cauliflower for its gorgeous color and I can never say no to some sweet roasted corn. I have also learned over the years that you don’t need to boil corn for hours to cook it. It’s actually better when just heated through or thrown on the grill to get some color. It really keeps that fresh corn taste. At the end you will have this yummy butter sauce with the fresh vegetables.
This dish will take no time and is a good paring to that rotisserie chicken you picked up and yet another reason to use your cast iron skillet.
