Afghan Cauliflower

Submitted by Andtototoo

"This recipe is from an Afghan cookbook that came out in the middle 1990's. I think that the restaurant that put out the cookbook was in Minnesota. Their recipes were very good. In some Afghan recipes for cauliflower, the tomato is a bit strong, but it is perfect in this easy recipe."
