Whole Cauliflower Braised in Tomato Sauce image

We're always on the lookout for good recipes that use cauliflower and this one really packs a lot of flavor! You can use regular smoked paprika or -- if you'd like a little heat like we do -- the hot smoked variety. A little sprinkling of Parmesan at table wouldn't hurt anything either!

Time 55m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 head cauliflower, large outside leaves removed
25 ounces jar roasted garlic tomato sauce
1/4 cup parsley, chopped (stems only)
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon onion powder
fresh ground pepper, to taste
4 anchovy fillets, drained and chopped
1 handful pitted kalamata olive
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
chopped parsley, to garnish (flat leaf)

Steps:

  • Place whole head of cauliflower in a large pot. It should fit comfortably, with 1 to 2 inches of room left on all sides.
  • Pour in tomato sauce, then add parsley stalks, chili powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, and freshly ground pepper. Bring sauce to a simmer over medium heat.
  • Stir in anchovies, olives, and red-wine vinegar, then bring to a low boil.
  • Gently push whole head of cauliflower down into the sauce. (Sauce should come halfway up the sides of the cauliflower). Drizzle with olive oil and cover.
  • Let cook over low heat for 45 minutes. To serve, garnish with chopped parsley.
