Remove the green leaves surrounding the cauliflower and cut it into florets.
Wash the florets and cook them in salted boiling water for 15 to 20 minutes, until tender.
Verify tenderness by inserting a knife into the florets.
Drain well.
In a skillet or frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the cooked cauliflower florets, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, and chopped coriander.
Using a fork, mash the cauliflower while mixing it with the spices and garlic.
Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is well coated and heated through.
Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the cauliflower mash and stir to combine.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a flavorful side dish.
