Cauliflower Braised in Tomato Sauce - "Kounoupidi Kapana"

This dish can't get easier. That's the beauty of authentic Greek cooking. They eat from the garden and cauliflower is a winter vegetable grown in Greek gardens. It's always in my garden as well. If you wish, you can add potatoes, cooked garbanzo beans, or fresh peas.
