Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 large head Cauliflower
- 2 medium Carrot
- 2 medium Celery stalks
- 1 medium Onion
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon Thyme
- 1 teaspoon Rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Separate the cauliflower into florets and steam them in a large pot until tender, about 10-15 minutes.
While the cauliflower is cooking, finely chop the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, approximately 7-10 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste, beef broth, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes until thickened.
Transfer the beef mixture into a baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.
In a food processor or blender, combine the cooked cauliflower with coconut milk and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Spread the cauliflower mash over the beef mixture, smoothing it out with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious Paleo Beef Cottage Pie!
