I heartily recommend this whimsical dish of simmered cauliflower, tomatoes and anchovy any time and especially for an otherwise lackadaisical Saturday supper ‘side.’ It remains at this posted date for who knows how long, lonely, completely ignored. Maybe there is a “private note” still hidden somewhere in someone’s otherwise unstained electronic cookbook aka, a laptop. Or perhaps in Moria Hodgson’s private treasure trove of dependable Times Cooking recipes. .

Well, Hazelfield, I'm making this tonight too. For some reason I woke up this morning thinking that I needed to use up a bowl of roma tomatoes and half a cauliflower, so I Googled them along with anchovies, and like magic, here's a recipe. I think this will absolutely delicious and cannot agree more that this post should be more popular. Wish me luck.
