I saw this post by @fooddreamer and I had to try it! I tweaked the recipe based on the ingredients I had at my house. I also added some zucchini and cabbage to have some vegetables in there besides the cauliflower. It is extremely comforting, RICH, and so satisfying. I’ve already made it a few times and I still want to eat more!!!
Ingredients
Filling:
*2 lbs ground beef
*¼ c. chopped onion
*3 cloves garlic minced
*1c. Chopped zucchini and/or cabbage
*1t. Salt
*½ t. Pepper
*2T. Coconut flour
*½ c. dry red wine
*2T. Chopped fresh rosemary
Topping:
*1 lb. cauliflower florets
*2 garlic cloves
*¼ c. sour cream (I did it once with whole milk yogurt and it turned out great too)
*2T. Butter
*½ t. Salt
*¼ t. Pepper
*4-6 oz. grated cheese of your choice (I did a mix of cheddar and monterey jack)
Directions
Filling:
-
In a large skillet cook ground beef over medium heat. Once the fat has been released from the meat, add the onions and cook for around 3 minutes then add garlic. (If you are adding veggies, add them here). Cook meat until brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove the meat and put into a casserole dish.
-
Whisk the coconut flour with the pan juices until well combined. Add the red wine and cook until reduced to about half of the liquid. Stir in the rosemary then pour over the lamb.
Topping:
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
-
Steam the cauliflower w/ garlic cloves on the stove or microwave until tender. Should take 6-8 min. w/either method.
-
Drain the cauliflower well and transfer to a blender or food processor. Along w/ the garlic add sour cream, butter, salt and pepper and blend until smooth.
-
Spread the cauliflower mash evenly over the meat, then sprinkle the cheese on top. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the filling is bubbling and the cheese has melted.
-
Remove from the oven, let it sit for a few minutes before serving.
