Bell pepper halves stuffed with ground beef, cauliflower rice, and tomato — all the stuffed-pepper comfort, none of the filler.

Ingredients
  • 6 bell peppers, halved through the stem and seeded
  • 700 g ground beef
  • 400 g riced cauliflower (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 400 g canned crushed tomatoes
  • 4 g dried oregano
  • 3 g smoked paprika
  • 8 g sea salt
  • 20 g olive oil

Method
  1. Heat the oven to 400°F. Rub the pepper halves with a little oil and roast them empty, cut side up, 10 minutes — the head start means tender peppers instead of crunchy ones.
  2. Meanwhile brown the beef with the onion; add the garlic for the last minute.
  3. Stir in the cauliflower rice, crushed tomatoes, oregano, paprika, and salt and simmer 5 minutes until thick enough to hold a spoon shape.
  4. Fill the pepper halves generously and bake 20-25 minutes until the peppers are fully tender and the tops brown.
Notes
  • These reheat well — make the full dozen and lunch is handled.
