Ingredients

  • 3 cups Cauliflower rice
  • 1 Tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 Small Onion finely diced
  • 2 Cloves Garlic crushed
  • 1 Red Pepper diced
  • ½ tsp ground Coriander
  • ½ tsp ground Cumin
  • 1 tsp ground Smoked Paprika
  • 2 Tomatoes diced
  • 1 Tbsp Tomato Paste
  • 1 cup Vegetable Stock
  • Salt and Pepper

Instructions

  • In a nonstick pan, drizzle in the olive oil and then sauté the onions, garlic, red pepper, and tomatoes for 5 minutes.
  • Add in the ground coriander, cumin, smoked paprika, and cauliflower rice. Stir and sauté for another 5-8 minutes.
  • Pour in the tomato paste and stock and sprinkle in a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir it all together and let it bubble away, stirring for 10-12 minutes or until the liquid has mostly cooked away.

Notes

  • Use cauliflower that is blemish-free, with bright green leaves.
  • If your mix is looking a bit dry, add more stock.
  • If you're concerned with the moisture in your rice, warm it up in the oven on LOW to dry it out slightly and even add a bit of crispness.
