- 0.5 cup Chicken stock
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions
Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice. Be careful not to over-process.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the tomato paste, canned diced tomatoes, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
Pour in the chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Cook for 4-5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Stir in the cauliflower rice, ensuring it is evenly coated with the tomato mixture.
Cover and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower rice is tender but not mushy.
Remove from heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving warm. Enjoy!
