Cauliflower in tomato sauce
For 3-4 servings:
1 cauliflower
1 onion, finely chopped
1/2 kg tomatoes, chopped or 1 can of chopped tomatoes or 2-3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon oil
parsley, finely chopped
salt and pepper, to taste
Wash the cauliflower and cut it into florets.
Heat the oil in a large pan and add the onion. Fry for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the cauliflower florets and a cup of water. Cover and simmer, on medium heat, for about 7-10 minutes.
Add the tomatoes (or the canned tomatoes or the tomato paste dissolved in a cup of water). Continue cooking on medium heat until cauliflower is done. Stir occasionally, taking care not to crush the cauliflower.
Finally add salt and pepper and garnish with parsley.

Mancare de conopida
Pentru 3-4 portii:
1 conopida
1 ceapa, taiata fin
1/2 kg de rosii, taiate marunt sau 1 conserva de rosii taiate sau 2-3 linguri bulion de rosii
1 lingura ulei
patrunjel, taiat fin
sare si piper, dupa gust
Conopida se spala si se taie in buchetele.
Se incinge uleiul intr-o cratita si se adauga ceapa. Se celeste 3-4 minute, amestecand din cand in cand.
Se adauga buchetelele de conopida si o cana cu apa. Se lasa la fiert la foc mediu, timp de 7-10 minute.
Se adauga rosiile (sau conserva de rosii sau bulionul de rosii dizolvat intr-o cana cu apa). Se continua fierberea ,la foc mediu, pana cand conopida este patrunsa. Se amesteca din cand in cand, cu grija, sa nu zdrobim bucatile de conopida.
La final se potriveste de sare si piper si se orneaza cu patrunjel.
Variatie: O data cu conopida se pot adauga si 3-4 cartofi, taiati bucatele.
