Stewed Cauliflower With Red Onions and Tomatoes image

The authentic version of this Greek vegetable dish calls for twice as much olive oil. I like the combination of kalamata olives, cauliflower and tomatoes. Serve it with whole grains, such as spelt, bulgur or barley.

Time 1h

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 medium-size red onions, halved and sliced across the grain
Salt to taste
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 14-ounce can chopped tomatoes
1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets
1 bay leaf
1 sprig rosemary
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon tomato paste dissolved in 1/2 cup water
1/2 cup red wine
8 kalamata olives, pitted and halved
1 to 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar or balsamic vinegar (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil in a heavy soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, and add the onions. Cook, stirring, until very tender, about eight minutes. Add a pinch of salt and the garlic, and stir for another minute or so until fragrant. Stir in the tomatoes, with their liquid, and bring to a simmer. Simmer about eight minutes until cooked down and fragrant, and add the cauliflower to the pot. Stir together, and add the bay leaf, rosemary, pepper, dissolved tomato paste and wine. Bring to a simmer, and add salt to taste. Cover, reduce the heat and simmer 30 to 40 minutes until the cauliflower is very tender.
  • Stir in the olives and vinegar if using, and adjust salt and pepper. Remove from the heat, and stir in the remaining olive oil. Serve hot or warm.

This dish was a disaster! The cauliflower was overcooked and mushy, and the sauce was watery and tasteless. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I won't be making this dish again.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra spices, such as cumin, coriander, and chili powder, to give it more flavor. I also used a can of fire-roasted tomatoes instead of fresh tomatoes, which added a smoky flavor to the dish.
