  5. After a couple of minutes add in the chopped onion and garlic, mix continuously, after 3 to 4 minutes and the onion is translucent, add in the sherry vinegar, paprika, and thyme, quickly mix together, then add in the canned tomato sauce, vegetable broth, and season with salt & pepper, mix together, then lower to a low-medium heat and simmer

  6. After 5 to 10 minutes and the sauce has slightly thickened, add in the florets of cauliflower, mix together, simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, then remove from the heat
