A simple, tomatoey recipe from Pellegrino Artusi.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
- A cauliflower
- A clove of galric
- A small bunch parsley
- Olive oil
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce
Preparation:
Split up one large cauliflower or two small ones and wash the pieces, leaving them wet. Mince a clove of garlic and a bunch of parsley and sauté them in two tablespoons of oil. When the mixture has browned, interrupt the cooking by adding a drop of water. Add the cauliflower, season it with salt and pepper, and when it has absorbed the oil, finish cooking it with a half cup of tomato sauce diluted in hot water. As a final touch, just before you serve the cauliflower, gently stir in a goodly amount of grated Parmigiano. This goes well with boiled meat, stew, or pig's foot.
