Wash the cauliflower and remove the outer greens. Cut the head into quarters. Then cut at an angle to remove the thick inner stem. (See photos in the post.) Cut the cauliflower quarters into several large pieces.
Add the cauliflower to a food processor and pulse until small. Be careful not to over-pulse -- this will turn the cauliflower into more of a paste. Alternatively, the cauliflower quarters can be grated with a cheese grater.
Transfer the cauliflower to a paper towel-lined plate. Put more paper towels on top of it, and press out any excess liquid.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the cauliflower to the oil, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the cauliflower is translucent.
