Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Cauliflower rice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 small Onion
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes (canned, no added sugar)
- 0.5 cup Chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Finely chop the garlic and onion. Add them to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they are fragrant and the onion becomes translucent.
Stir in the tomato paste, diced tomatoes, paprika, cumin powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens slightly and is well combined.
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet and toss to coat it evenly with the tomato mixture.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth. Stir well, cover the skillet, and allow the cauliflower rice to cook for 5-7 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, if desired.
Serve immediately as a side dish with grilled meats, fish, or as a light, low-carb meal.
