Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower, grated
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1.5 cups Diced tomatoes, fresh or canned
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Remove the leaves and core from the cauliflower head, and cut into large chunks. Use a grater or food processor to grate the cauliflower into rice-sized pieces. Set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the tomato paste to the skillet, mixing it with the onions and garlic, and let it cook for about 2 minutes.
Stir in the diced tomatoes and the chicken broth, mixing well.
Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
In a separate skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the grated cauliflower and sauté for about 5 minutes until it's just tender but not mushy.
Once the cauliflower rice is ready, combine it with the tomato mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure the cauliflower is well coated with the sauce.
Continue to cook the combined mixture for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend together.
Remove from heat, sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top, and serve hot.
