Step 1: Jalapeno Garlic Oil ... A couple of notes first - Garlic - peel, then lightly press or "smash." You still want the clove whole. And for the jalapeno. simply cut a slit in the jalapeno. This allows the heat of the jalapeno to infuse the oil without too much heat.
Step 2: Then, add the oil, garlic, and jalapeno to a small pot and simmer for 10 minutes on low heat. Remove from the heat to cool; then, remove the garlic and jalapeno. Any oil you do not use for this dish can be refrigerated for 4-5 days or frozen for future use.
Step 3: Cauliflower ... Cut the cauliflower into large florets and add to a bowl, along with 1/4 cup of the cooled infused oil; and plenty of salt and pepper. Toss to combine.
Step 4: Grill ... Add the cauliflower directly to the gill grates and cook on each side until you get nice grill marks. This should take around 10-15 minutes. If you like the cauliflower done a bit more, transfer to a sheet of foil, on indirect heat and wrap it up a bit. Add a little water to the foil and allow the cauliflower to cook another 5 minutes. This will allow it to steam a bit, and get a bit more tender. Personally, I like the crisp fresh texture; but, some like to cook it a bit further.
Step 5: Citrus and Scallions ... As the cauliflower cooks, grill the lemon or orange halves; and the scallions. Grilling the fruit adds a really nice sweetness, and will be delicious squeezed over the cauliflower when served.
Step 6: Serve and ENJOY! ... When ready to serve; transfer to the cauliflower to a serving bowl, and squeeze the grilled lemon or orange over the top. Finish with the chopped scallions, and season lightly with a pinch of salt and pepper. Delicious!!
