Ingredients: - 1 small cauliflower - 2 red bell peppers - 2 yellow bell peppers - 1 large tomato - 1 small leek - 2 green onions - 1 garlic clove - 2 handfuls of pitted olives - 1 bunch of fresh parsley - 1 can of tomatoes in juice (380 g) - 250 ml of homemade broth (or water) - Olive oil - 1 tablespoon of red balsamic vinegar - Salt and pepper to taste Preparation: 1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by washing the cauliflower and breaking it into small florets. This will cook evenly and absorb the sauce's flavor. Chop the bell peppers, onion, and leek into small cubes, and peel and dice the tomato. Crush the olives by hand to release their flavors. 2. Sautéing the vegetables: In a large skillet, add a few tablespoons of olive oil and heat it over medium heat. Add the onion, leek, and peppers, sautéing for about 5-7 minutes until they become soft. Add the crushed garlic and stir for 1 minute to release its aroma. 3. Preparing the sauce: Add the diced tomato, olives, canned tomatoes, and homemade broth to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper, then add almost the entire bunch of chopped parsley and the balsamic vinegar. Let the sauce simmer on low heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. 4. Assembling the dish: Preheat the oven to 180°C. Pour the tomato sauce into a clay pot or a heat-resistant dish, ensuring it is evenly distributed. Incorporate the cauliflower florets, submerging them in the tomato sauce. Finally, drizzle everything with 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil. 5. Baking: Cover the dish with a lid or aluminum foil, making sure it doesn’t touch the cauliflower. Place the dish in the oven and let it bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes. This method will allow the cauliflower to cook both in the sauce and in steam, becoming extremely flavorful. 6. Serving: Once the dish is ready, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with the remaining chopped parsley for a fresh touch. You can serve the cauliflower in tomato sauce alongside rice or fresh bread. Variation suggestion: If you want to add more flavor, you can also include fresh mushrooms in the sauce. They will add a pleasant texture and rich taste to the dish. This cauliflower in tomato sauce recipe is not only healthy but also full of colors and flavors, making it perfect for family meals or fasting days. Treat yourself and enjoy a delicious dish that will bring a touch of joy to every plate!
