METHOD CAULIFLOWER:
- 1. Add 1-1/2 tablespoons Olive Oil to a large pot over medium heat. When hot, add the Cauliflower pieces and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until it begins to turn golden. Add the water, reduce the heat slightly, and cover. Cook for 7-9 minutes or until soft. Drain the Cauliflower and reserve the cooking water.
- 2. Add the Cauliflower to a food processor. Add 2 tablespoons of the cooking water and pulse until smooth. Add another 2 tablespoons of the water as needed, and blend to the consistency you like. Set aside. METHOD FILLING:
- 1. To make the filling: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Add 1-1/2 tablespoons Olive Oil to a large skillet over medium heat. When hot add the Onion and Carrot. Cook until soft. Add Garlic, Bell Pepper, and Asparagus to the skillet with the vegetables. Add about 1/4 cup of the remaining Cauliflower water to the skillet with the vegetables and cook until they begin to soften.
- 2. Meanwhile, add 1 tablespoon of Olive Oil to a second skillet over medium heat. When hot, add the Ground Beef and cook until browned. When the Ground beef is cooked, use a slotted spoon to transfer it to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the following in Cumin, Coriander, Salt and Red Pepper to the mixture. Stir to combine.
- 3. Transfer the mixture to a cast iron skillet (or a lightly oiled baking dish if using). Transfer the Mashed Cauliflower over the top of the mixture and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the paprika over the top.
- 4. Bake for about 20 minutes. Serve immediately.
