Servings: persons

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 plump cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 small (1 1/2-pound) butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 3 cups)
1 (1-pound) cauliflower, cored and cut into 1-inch florets (about 3 cups)
1/4 cup small capers, drained
Coarse sea salt or kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or more to taste
1 (28-ounce) can Italian plum tomatoes and their juices, preferably San Marzano, crushed by hand
1 cup water
2 teaspoons Asian fish sauce, or more to taste

1
Pour the olive oil into a large saucepan set over medium-high heat.
2
When the oil starts to shimmer, scatter in the sliced garlic and let it start sizzling.
3
Stir in the onion slices and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
4
Add the squash and cauliflower pieces, capers, 1 teaspoon salt, and the red pepper flakes and use tongs to toss it all together.
5
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and their juices.
6
Slosh the water into the can and add; stir well and cover.
7
When the tomato juices are boiling, decrease the heat to medium-low or low so that the mixture is gently bubbling.
8
Cook, covered, until the vegetables are tender, 30 to 40 minutes.
9
Uncover, increase the heat to medium-high, and continue cooking until the stew is reduced and thickened to a good pasta-sauce consistency, about 5 minutes.
10
Add the fish sauce, taste, and add more fish sauce and salt if desired.
11
Eat a cup or two as a vegetarian main course and refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks, or freeze it in cup-size portions for several months.
