Instructions

1. Cut the stalk from the cauliflower. We disassemble the cabbage into inflorescences.
   Boil water in a saucepan of a suitable size.

   

2. We send cabbage inflorescences to a saucepan with boiling water.
   Squeeze lemon juice into a saucepan. Put the squeezed lemon in the same place.
   Put the saucepan with cabbage on the fire, bring to a boil.
3. Then separate the stems from the parsley and dill sprigs and add to the pan. Cook the cauliflower for 10 minutes.
4. While the cabbage is boiling, let’s start preparing the tomato sauce.
   Peel the carrots and cut them into thick semicircles.
5. Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan (with a metal handle), add butter, and put carrots. Fry the carrots over low heat for 4 minutes.
6. After 10 minutes of cooking, we send the cabbage to a colander to drain all the water.
7. Cut the tomatoes in half, remove the hard parts. Cut the tomatoes into large cubes.
   (Tomatoes can be replaced with 25 g of tomato paste by frying it with added sugar, or 0.5 liters of tomato juice.)
8. Peel and cut the garlic into slices.
9. Add tomatoes and garlic to carrots.
10. Fill the tomatoes with carrots and garlic with water so that it completely covers them. Simmer over low heat for 20 minutes.
11. Add white pepper and salt. Simmer for another 10 minutes.
    Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200 degrees.
12. Put the boiled cabbage in a slide in a pan on vegetables.
13. Rub the cheese (I used Dutch) with a fine grater on top of the cabbage. Add olives.
    Put a frying pan with cauliflower in tomato sauce in the oven and bake for 5 minutes.

    

14. After baking, sprinkle with cauliflower in tomato sauce, with olives, finely chopped herbs, and serve.
