Ingredients

• 1 large head cauliflower
• 500 grams ground beef or chicken
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 medium, diced onion
• 3 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 large, diced carrot
• 1 medium, diced bell pepper
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
• 2 stalks, sliced green onions
• 0.25 cup, chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Cut the cauliflower into small florets and pulse in a food processor until it reaches a rice-like consistency. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Add the ground beef or chicken and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Once cooked, remove it from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the diced carrot, bell pepper, and broccoli florets to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 5

Return the cooked meat to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the cauliflower rice, stirring to combine all ingredients well.

Step 6

Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, cumin, and paprika. Stir to evenly coat the vegetables and meat with the spices.

Step 7

Pour in the coconut aminos and mix well. Cover and let cook for 5 more minutes, allowing the flavors to blend and the cauliflower to soften.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Once cooked through, remove the skillet from the heat.

Step 9

Sprinkle the sliced green onions and chopped cilantro over the top of the dish before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot and enjoy your Paleo Savory Rice with Meat and Vegetables!
