Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 head cauliflower
- 1 medium, chopped onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1 medium, diced bell pepper
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.25 cup, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Separate the cauliflower into florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower resembles rice. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and diced bell pepper, cooking for another 3 minutes until the vegetables soften.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it browns. Cook until the beef is no longer pink, about 7 to 8 minutes.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the tomato paste, coconut aminos, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly and let cook for 2 minutes to allow the flavors to marry.
Increase heat to medium and add the cauliflower rice to the skillet. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
Cover and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender and heated through.
Remove from heat, adjust seasoning if necessary, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
