The quantities for the sauce are approximate, depending on whether you want more or less sauce. Clean the cauliflower and cut it into florets. Cook the florets in salted water for about 10 minutes until al dente. Skim off the cauliflower; do not discard the cooking water! For the sauce, melt the clarified butter in a saucepan and make a light roux with the flour. Deglaze with the cauliflower water to make a creamy sauce. Season the sauce with salt and pepper and plenty of nutmeg. Add the cauliflower. This was my favorite dish as a child and was always served with rice. But I can also imagine boiled potatoes with it. We always ate it as a main course, but it certainly goes well as a side dish with meat.
