What is cauliflower stew?
Cauliflower stew is a type of flow cooked dish in tomato sauce with onion, carrots and bell peppers. We make it aromatic thanks to the herbs we add and serve it on its own or with bread. It's fully vegan and low in carbs.
Cauliflower is usually white but you can find it in hues of orange, violet and green. Irrespective of its colour, cauliflower tastes the same: slightly sweet and a little nutty.
Cauliflower originates from the Mediterranean region and arrived in Europe at the end of the 15th century. It derives from a wild cabbage, which is the ancestor of Brussels sprouts, kohlrabi and kale.
