Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large cauliflower head
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 3 large, grated ripe tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 whole bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Cut the cauliflower into florets and place them into a food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower achieves a rice-like consistency. Alternatively, grate the cauliflower with a box grater to create cauliflower rice.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and mince garlic, sautéing for about 3 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
Stir in the grated tomatoes and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to reduce slightly.
Add the tomato paste, chicken broth, bay leaf, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Once simmering, add the cauliflower rice to the skillet. Stir to ensure the rice is evenly coated with the tomato mixture.
Cover the skillet and allow to cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower rice is tender and the flavors are well combined.
Remove the bay leaf and adjust seasoning to taste, if necessary.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
