  • Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
  • Cherry tomatoes - 150 grams, halved

  • Feta cheese - 100 grams, crumbled
  • Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
  • Red pepper flakes - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Salt - to taste

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. Rinse the cauliflower and cut it into florets. Steam the florets for about 8-10 minutes until tender.
  3. Once steamed, transfer the cauliflower to a food processor and pulse until it resembles spaghetti or rice. Be careful not to over-process.
  4. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Add the processed cauliflower to the skillet and mix well with the garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Incorporate the cherry tomatoes, olives, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper into the skillet. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the tomatoes soften.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in the crumbled feta cheese and chopped parsley.
  8. Serve warm, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
