Ingredients

• 1 head Cauliflower
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 cup Vegetable broth
• 1 cup Kalamata olives
• 2 teaspoons Dried Herbes de Provence
• 0.5 teaspoons Red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Cut the cauliflower into medium-sized florets and set aside.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.

Step 3

Mince the garlic and dice the onion, then add both to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the onion turns translucent and fragrant.

Step 4

Add the cherry tomatoes to the pan and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and release their juices.

Step 5

Stir in the tomato paste, vegetable broth, Herbes de Provence, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a cohesive sauce.

Step 6

Carefully nestle the cauliflower florets into the sauce. Cover with a lid and reduce the heat to low, allowing the cauliflower to simmer for 20 minutes, or until tender.

Step 7

Roughly chop the Kalamata olives and stir them into the pan during the last 5 minutes of cooking.

Step 8

Once the cauliflower is tender, remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the lemon juice for brightness.

Step 9

Transfer the dish to a serving platter and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve warm as a main or side dish.
