To make braised cauliflower and vegetables:
In a dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the onions.
Cook onions for five minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the celery and carrots, and cook for an additional five minutes.
Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, vegetable stock, bay leaves, and cinnamon stick.
Combine until the tomato paste has dissolved.
Cut the cauliflower into florets, and add to the pot.
Bring to a boil, put the lid on the dutch oven, then lower the heat to just above low.
Gently simmer for 20 minutes, then check to see if more water is needed.
Add the salt and pepper, gently stir the vegetables, and allow to cook for another 20 minutes (or less depending on how you like your vegetables cooked).
Once the vegetables are cooked the way you like them, remove the pot from the heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice.
Discard the bay leaves and cinnamon stick.
Before serving, drizzle some extra virgin olive oil over the vegetables.
Serve with feta cheese and fresh bread.
