Cauliflower with tomato, an easy side dish perfect for accompanying any main course. This recipe is very simple and tasty. If you’re not particularly fond of the taste of boiled cauliflower, you must try the cauliflower in sauce because with the tomato, olives, and capers, the cauliflower will be flavorful and won’t have that typical taste that many people dislike. The cauliflower will first be blanched to speed up the cooking of the cauliflower in the pan, allowing it to absorb all the flavors even better. Imagine that I love eating cauliflower even plain, just cooked, whereas my husband doesn’t really like it, but he enjoyed this flavorful pan-fried cauliflower a lot and even asked me to make it again. Now let’s see how to make cauliflower with tomato, and if you try it, let me know. Barbara
