Preparation

Place a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the olive oil and onion and cook for 4 minutes until the onion softens. Add the cauliflower and cook for 2 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and ground cinnamon. Cook for a further 5 minutes, stirring regularly.
Combine the tomato paste and water and mix until dissolved. Add the water to the saucepan, along with the grated tomatoes and cinnamon stick. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook for 15 minutes. Add the cherry tomatoes and simmer for a further 5–10 minutes until the cauliflower is tender.
Remove from the heat and stir through the lemon juice. Serve with yoghurt and bread.
