Ingredients

• 1 head (or 4 cups riced cauliflower) Cauliflower (fresh or frozen)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 0.5 medium Onion (diced)
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste (no added sugar)
• 1 cup Diced tomatoes (canned, no added sugar)
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth (or vegetable broth for vegetarian)
• 1 teaspoon Sweet paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

If using a fresh cauliflower head, cut it into florets. Pulse the florets in a food processor until they are rice-sized. If using pre-riced cauliflower, skip this step.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and diced onion to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.

Step 4

Add the tomato paste, diced tomatoes, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and let the mixture simmer for 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 6

Stir in the cauliflower rice, ensuring it is evenly coated with the tomato mixture.

Step 7

Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish the dish with fresh parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm as a side dish or a standalone meal.
