Place a frying pan over high heat with butter and a little olive oil. Wait for it to be very hot and place the cauliflower bouquets.
In the same pan add the orange juice, with the peel in strips, the almonds and the honey. If you want to give it a spicy touch, this would be the time to add the cayenne pepper.
Add salt and pepper and let the flavors meld for a few minutes while the pan is on medium heat.
