Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 head cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 1 medium bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.25 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cauliflower. Remove the leaves and cut the cauliflower into florets. Place the florets in a food processor and pulse until they resemble the texture of rice. Set aside.
Dice the onion and bell pepper into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh parsley. Set these aside for later use.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, and cook until it is browned and no longer pink, about 8-10 minutes.
Stir in the diced bell pepper, salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and cayenne pepper. Cook for an additional 3 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
Pour in the coconut aminos and mix well, then add the cauliflower rice to the skillet. Stir everything together until well combined.
Cover the skillet and let the mixture cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender.
Remove from heat and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top before serving to add a fresh, bright flavor.
Serve hot and enjoy your Paleo Savory Ground Beef and Cauliflower Rice.
