Cavolfiore Al Pomodoro
- one head of cauliflower, washed and roughly chopped
- two tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- one small onion, finely chopped
- two garlic cloves, finely chopped
- three anchovies
- three tablespoons concentrated tomato paste (I use the Amore brand that comes in a tube)
- one handfull of chopped parsley (I think basil would work as well)
- juice from half a lemon
- sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- Pulse the cauliflower in the food processor fitted with an S blade. Just pulse a few times until the texture resembles rice, but try not to turn it into a mash.
- Heat the olive oil in a heavy bottomed pan and cook the onion until it is softened, 3-5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute, taking care not to burn it. Add the anchovies and break them with the back of the wooden spoon and cook for one more minute. Add the tomato paste, mix well and cook for about 2 minutes.
- Add the cauliflower "rice" and cook for about 4 minutes, until it softens a little bit but still maintains its bite. Add salt and pepper to taste. Turn off the heat, add the chopped parsley and the lemon, taste to adjust the seasoning and serve. The lemon and parsley really brighten this dish and the tomato-anchovy sauce kicks up a notch the relatively bland cauliflower taste.
