Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 small tomato, diced
  • 3 cups riced cauliflower
  • ½ cup vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon ancho chile powder
  • salt and pepper to taste

Cooking Directions

  1. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook 2 minutes more. Add red belle pepper and tomato. Cook another 3 minutes.
  2. Add cauliflower rice, broth, tomato paste, cumin, paprika, oregano, and ancho chile powder to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook about 5 minutes.
  3. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired. Cook until cauliflower still has a bite and is not mushy, 3 to 5 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper before serving.
To make cauliflower rice at home, add cauliflower segments to a food processor and pulse to desired consistency. Cauliflower should resemble grains of rice, but all grains of cauliflower may not be the exact same size. Do not over-process; Feel free to use chicken stock in place of vegetable broth. You can use chipotle powder in place of ancho. A half-can of diced tomatoes can be used instead of the fresh tomato.
