Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head (or 4 cups riced cauliflower) Cauliflower (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 0.5 medium Onion (diced)
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste (no added sugar)
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes (canned, no added sugar)
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth (or vegetable broth for vegetarian)
- 1 teaspoon Sweet paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
If using a fresh cauliflower head, cut it into florets. Pulse the florets in a food processor until they are rice-sized. If using pre-riced cauliflower, skip this step.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and diced onion to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
Add the tomato paste, diced tomatoes, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Pour in the chicken broth and let the mixture simmer for 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Stir in the cauliflower rice, ensuring it is evenly coated with the tomato mixture.
Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish the dish with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or a standalone meal.
