Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium head cauliflower
- 1 medium onion
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 medium bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 stalks green onions
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Remove the leaves and core from the cauliflower, then cut it into florets.
Place the cauliflower florets in a food processor and pulse until it reaches a rice-like consistency. Set aside.
Chop the onion and bell pepper into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until soft and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a spatula until it is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the chopped bell pepper, coconut aminos, ground cumin, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes until the bell pepper is tender.
In a separate pan, add a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the cauliflower rice and sauté for about 5 minutes until tender. Season with a pinch of salt if desired.
To serve, divide the cauliflower rice among four plates. Top with the savory ground beef mixture.
Garnish with chopped green onions and fresh cilantro for added flavor and color.
Enjoy this hearty and flavorful Paleo meal!
