Preparation

Step 1
Cut off the stem of the cauliflower, and break and cut the head into small florets. Steam over boiling water for 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle the cauliflower with red-pepper flakes while it steams.
Step 2
Mince the garlic. Wash and drain the capers. Pit the olives, and coarsely chop them.
Step 3
When the cauliflower is firm but tender, drain and place in a bowl. Pour the wine over it, and add the garlic, capers, olives, oil and vinegar. Cover and allow to marinate until serving time.
