Just wondering why the photo shows no tomatoes in the cauliflower. Mine did not look anything like the photo.
I was just coming on to comment the same thing. When I first found this recipe I basically looked at the photo when deciding to make it. I found it very odd when I went to make it and needed a can of tomatoes. Not only does that not belong in an au gratin but the recipe pictured looks entirely different (no tomatoes, and some green things that were never mentioned in the ingredients). The recipe is ok but I’d rather a real au gratin. I won’t make again.

Just made this receipe. Very good. I would make it again! I drained some of the juice from the tomatoes & it was perfect. Thanks
I noticed the lack of tomatoes and the appearance of a much cheesier dish. I chose to make the recipe except I used 2% Italian cheese about 2/3 cup split the mixed cauliflower tomato combination putting the cheese between the layers and on top of the last layer. I mixed about 1T grated Parmesan with panko bread crumbs and covered the top. I found I needed to season the tomato mixture with more Italian seasonings with more Italian seasoning including a pinch of red pepper. These tweaks made the dish much more flavorful. Next time I make it I plan to use tomatoes with green chili’s and use southwest seasonings and cheeses.
