Greek Style Cauliflower (Kapama)
Simple and easy to prepare, Greek Style Cauliflower (Kounoupidi Kapama) is a beautiful dish that serves well on its own or as a side to a main meal.
Ingredients
- 1 large head of cauliflower washed and cut into florets
- ½ cup olive oil
- 1 onion sliced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 4 tomatoes
- 1 6 oz. can tomato paste
- 3 potatoes cut into small pieces
- 1 stick cinnamon
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups water
- feta cheese (optional)
Instructions
- In a large pot, add ¼ cup olive oil and heat over medium.
- Add the sliced onions and garlic and sauté until softened
- Dice 2 of the tomatoes into small pieces.
- Add the cauliflower florets to a bowl and using your hands, mix in the diced tomatoes and tomato paste.
- Add the coated cauliflower to the pot with the onions and garlic.
- Stir with a spoon to incorporate and add in the potatoes, cinnamon stick, ¼ cup olive oil, salt and pepper.
- Add in the 2 cups of water, and top with 2 tomatoes sliced into quarters.
- Cover with a lid and place in a preheated 350 degree oven for 2 ½ hours.
- During the last half hour of cooking, remove the lid. This allows the potatoes and cauliflower to become a delicious golden brown.
- Serve immediately with a spoonful of the sauce on top, and a loaf of crusty bread. Enjoy!
Notes
You can also add a sprinkle of feta cheese on top right before serving. We chose to keep it completely vegan, so opted not to add the feta cheese.
