TOMATO BRAISED CAULIFLOWER image

Categories     Vegetable

Yield 6 people

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 head cauliflower (2-1/2 lbs.) or 3 smaller romanesco heads of cauliflower
3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup diced onions
4 cloves garlic, crushed
2 fresh or dried bay leaves
1 tsp. crushed red pepper
Salt
2 cups cored, peeled and seeded tomatoes or 1 16 ounce can Italian plum tomatoes, drained and seeded.

Steps:

  • Pull off leaves from cauliflower and cut out core. Break cauliflower head into florets no larger than 1-1/2 inches. In large casserole, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and cook about 4 minutes, until wilted. Add cauliflower, bay leaves, and crushed red pepper. Season lightly with salt. Cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile crush tomatoes by hand. Add tomatoes to cauliflower and cook, covered, until cauliflower is very tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed, about 30 minutes. Check after 20 minutes and cook last 10 minutes uncovered if there is more than just enough liquid to lightly coat the cauliflower. Season with salt and serve hot as a side dish. You can also use this as sauce for pasta, topped with shaved pecorino or other hard cheese.

This dish was a disappointment. The cauliflower was mushy and the sauce was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but I don't think I'll be making it again.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added some more herbs and spices to the sauce.

This dish is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the cauliflower and the tomato sauce is a great way to hide the healthy ingredients.

I'm not a big fan of cauliflower, but this dish was surprisingly good. The cauliflower was roasted to perfection and the tomato sauce was flavorful and tangy. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover cauliflower. I usually make a big batch of roasted cauliflower and then use it in this dish throughout the week. It's a great way to get a healthy meal on the table quickly and easily.

I've made this dish several times and it's always a hit. The cauliflower is always tender and the sauce is always flavorful. I usually add some extra vegetables to the sauce, like bell peppers or zucchini.

I thought this dish was just okay. The cauliflower was a bit bland and the sauce was a bit too acidic for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added some more herbs and spices to the sauce.
