1 head cauliflower -- freshly ground
1 bell pepper -- diced rough
1/2 cup onion -- diced rough
olive oil
14 1/2 ounces whole tomatoes -- canned
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce -- 1 to 2

2) Chop up peppers and onion and saute in olive oil a large skillet over medium high heat, until the pepper and onion start to get a little charred.
3) While peppers and onions are cooking, remove outer leaves of cauliflower, and cut away at the base until you are left with a stalk stem to hold onto and all the green cut away.

5) Serve topped with tomato sauce and little chopped scallion (optional).
