Greek Braised Cauliflower

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 medium cauliflower head, stem removed and cut into medium-sized florets
  • 1 small potato, peeled and diced
  • 3 allspice berries
  • 3 whole cloves
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Preparation:

  1. Sauté the Vegetables:
    • In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
    • Add the cauliflower florets, diced potato, allspice berries, cloves, and cinnamon stick.
    • Cook for a few minutes until the spices are fragrant and the cauliflower starts to develop some color.
  2. Add Tomato Paste and Seasonings:
    • Stir in the tomato paste, salt, and pepper until everything is well combined.
  3. Add Water and Simmer:
    • Pour in enough water to cover the vegetables halfway. You can add more water later if needed.
    • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
    • Arrange the cauliflower with the stems facing down and the florets facing up.
  4. Cook Until Tender:
    • Cover the pot with a lid and let it simmer for about 30 to 50 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender but not falling apart, and the sauce has thickened and reduced.
