Ingredients
1 lb ground beef, 93% lean or leaner
1 head cauliflower, cut into florets and stem pieces
1 tsp salt, divided
1/4 tsp turmeric
1.5 tsp ground ginger
1.5 tsp garam masala
2 medium tomatoes, seeded, diced (about 1.5 cups)
1/2 c frozen peas
1 medium lemon, sliced into wedges
Directions
- Place cauliflower in large saucepan. Cover with water; bring to boil. Cook 10 minutes or until very tender. Reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid. Drain cauliflower and return to pot. Mash cauliflower with potato masher until slightly chunky. Stir in reserved 1/4 cup cooking liquid, 1 tablespoon at a time to moisten. Season with 3/4 teaspoon of salt and turmeric.
- Meanwhile, heat large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add ginger and garam masala; cooking until spices are fragrant, about one minute. Add Ground Beef and tomatoes, cook 8 to 10 minutes, breaking into 1/2-inch crumbles and stirring occasionally. Pour off drippings, as necessary. Season with remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Remove from heat and stir in peas.
- Preheat broiler to high. Spread beef mixture in even layer in skillet. Spread cauliflower mixture evenly over beef mixture. Place skillet on oven rack so surface of cauliflower is 3 to 4 inches from heat. Broil 12-15 minutes or until the cauliflower is golden brown. Cool slightly. Serve with lemon wedges.
