💡 Cook's Notes
*It is preferable to use homemade bread crumbs from stale country style bread for this dish. The toasted bread crumbs provide a crunchy contrast to the cauliflower that is not achievable with the finely ground bread crumbs available in the grocery store. When sufficiently dry, pulse stale country style bread that has been cut up in the work bowl of a food processor until coarsely ground. "Gremolata" is Italian for this mixture that "wakes up" a dish.
