Ingredients

  • 1 medium cauliflower (about 500g, broken into florets)
  • 2 carrots (peeled & sliced)
  • 1 onion (peeled & sliced into half moons)
  • 1 dessert spoon tomato paste (tomato paste)
  • 1 dessert spoon olive oil
  • 1 dessert spoon chilli flakes (or paprika)
  • 1 handful flat leaf parsley (chopped)
  • salt & pepper (to season)

Instructions

  • In a deep pan, gently heat your olive oil.
  • Once hot, add your onion and sauté until it starts to sweat.
  • Now add your carrots and stir them round.
  • Keep the pan on a low heat and gently sauté for 5 minutes or so until your carrot begins to cook and soften.
  • You can add your chilli flakes, salt and pepper at this point, too.
  • Meanwhile, put your tomato paste (salça) into a cup and add boiling water or vegetable stock. Stir until the salça dissolves.
  • Add your cauliflower to the pan along with the dissolved tomato paste.
  • Now add enough hot water or stock to cover the cauliflower florets.
  • Stir everything around, bring to the boil and then simmer until your cauliflower is soft.
  • Serve in a bowl and top with your freshly chopped parsley.
