Bison and Rice

Bison and Rice is a hearty and wholesome Paleo dish that combines the rich flavors of lean bison with fragrant cauliflower rice and colorful vegetables. This nutritious meal is not only satisfying but also packed with protein and healthy fats, making it perfect for a healthy lifestyle.

Ingredients

• Bison ground meat - 250 grams
• Cauliflower - 1 small head (about 400 grams)
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Red bell pepper - 1 medium, diced
• Carrot - 1 medium, diced
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Onion - 1 small, diced
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped

Steps

1. Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower, then cut it into florets.
2. In a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets until they resemble grains of rice. Set aside.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Add the diced red bell pepper and carrot to the skillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
5. Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the ground bison to the empty side. Cook the bison until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.
6. Once the bison is fully cooked, mix it with the vegetables. Stir in the cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
7. Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet, mixing everything together. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender.
8. Drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
