Today I'm sharing an amazingly delicious recipe - Cod and Cauliflower Chowder. This is a Mediterranean Diet friendly staple. The Mediterranean diet isn't a diet in the science that you are limited - in fact there's so many wonderful foods and flavors! I recommend this way of eating because it

Here are the ingredients

2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 leek, white and light parts only, cut in half lengthwise and sliced thinly
4 garlic cloves, sliced
1 medium head cauliflower, coarsely chopped
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground pepper
2 pints cherry tomatoes
2 cups no-salt-added vegetable stock
¼ cup green olives, pitted and chopped
]1 to 1 ½ pounds cod
¼ cup fresh parsley, minced

Steps

1. Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat. Add the leek and sauté until lightly golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Add the cauliflower, salt, and black pepper and sauté 2 to 3 minutes.

2. Add the tomatoes and vegetable stock, increase the heat to high and bring to a boil, then turn the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.

3. Add the olives and mix together. Add the fish, cover, and simmer 20 minutes, or until fish is opaque and flakes easily. Gently mix in the parsley.
