Lemon cauliflower is a simple and healthy dish that has transcended borders in Latin America. Cauliflower, a vegetable originally from the Mediterranean, has been incorporated into various cultures in the region with variations in its name and preparation. In countries like Mexico and Argentina, it is commonly known as "coliflor," while in other regions it may simply be called "flower cabbage."
