Preparation steps
Rinse and drain cauliflower in a sieve. Divide into large florets.
Rinse lemon in hot water and wipe dry. With a vegetable peeler, remove peel in strips.
Fill a pot with approximately 3/4 inch of water. Add 2/3 of the lemon peel and some salt. Bring to a boil.
Insert a steaming basket, add cauliflower, cover, and steam over medium heat until cauliflower is very tender, 18-20 minutes.
Meanwhile, halve bell pepper, remove seeds and ribs and rinse. Cut into strips. Peel and chop shallot.
In a second pot, bring vegetable broth to a boil. Add bell pepper and shallot. Cover and simmer on low heat until vegetables have softened, 10-12 minutes.
Remove bell pepper and shallot from heat and puree with an immersion blender. Add coriander and olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Ladle pepper coulis onto a serving dish and top with cauliflower florets. Cut remaining lemon peel into thin strips and sprinkle over the top.
