Simmered Pork Belly with CauliflowerWhen the dish is complete, the cauliflower should be tender enough to pierce with a fork. To do that, I’d start with sautéing the cauliflower under high heat for a few minutes to develop some nice char on the outside first. 

Then cover the pan with a lid to simmer for about 2 minutes under medium heat for it to soften. By now, the cauliflower should be 80% cooked through.
