How to Make Kounoupithi Baked Cauliflower With Feta And Tomato Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large sauté pan, gently cook 1/2 cup chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic in 2 tablespoons olive oil until softened (about 5 minutes).
  3. Add 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 5 minutes.
  5. Cut 1 medium head of cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Add the cauliflower to the tomato sauce.
  6. Cover and cook for another 10 minutes, or until the cauliflower is slightly tender.
  7. Transfer the cauliflower and tomato mixture to a shallow, oven-safe dish (approximately 8x8 inches). Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
  8. Crumble 4 ounces feta cheese over the top and sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the feta is golden brown and bubbly and the cauliflower is tender.
