Ingredients for Cauliflower with Tomato
- 1.75 lbs cauliflower (weight net of waste)
- 1.25 cups cherry tomatoes
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 bunch parsley
- extra virgin olive oil
- salt
- black pepper
Tools
- 1 Pot
- 1 Slotted Spoon
- 1 Pan
Preparation of Cauliflower with Tomato
Clean the cauliflower and divide it into florets.
Rinse them well under running water, then blanch them for 4/5 minutes in salted boiling water and drain with a slotted spoon. Keep some of this water for later to soften the side dish.
Meanwhile, wash the cherry tomatoes and cut them into small pieces.
Peel the garlic clove, remove the central germ and chop it finely, then fry it in a few tablespoons of oil in a large pan. Let it sizzle for a moment then add the cauliflower florets (I recommend cutting the larger ones in half) and sauté them for a couple of minutes, stirring gently.
Now add the tomato paste, cherry tomatoes, a generous pinch of salt, and a grind of black pepper and continue cooking for 8/10 minutes over low heat, adding a little of the cauliflower cooking water if the sauce dries out too much. Stir occasionally.
Once cooked, sprinkle the cauliflower with finely chopped parsley and serve immediately, very hot. Enjoy! Paola
The cauliflower with tomato will be ready when you can easily pierce it with a fork. However, it should still be crunchy and not too soft. So keep an eye on it!
