Paleo Coconut Curry

Paleo Coconut Curry is a delightful fusion dish that combines aromatic spices with creamy coconut milk to create a flavorful sauce, all served on a cauliflower crust that mimics a traditional pizza base. This dish is not only satisfying but also nourishing, making it a perfect choice for a healthy meal.

Ingredients

• Cauliflower - 300 grams (for crust)
• Egg - 1 large
• Almond flour - 50 grams
• Coconut oil - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Curry powder - 1 tablespoon
• Coconut milk - 200 ml
• Chicken breast - 200 grams, diced
• Bell pepper - 1 medium, sliced
• Zucchini - 1 small, sliced
• Fresh cilantro - for garnish
• Lime - 1, juiced

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F).
2. Rice the cauliflower by cutting it into florets and pulsing it in a food processor until it resembles rice grains.
3. Steam the riced cauliflower for about 5 minutes until tender, then let it cool.
4. In a bowl, combine the cooled riced cauliflower, almond flour, egg, and salt to form a dough.
5. Spread the cauliflower dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, shaping it into a round pizza crust.
6. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
7. While the crust is baking, heat coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat.
8. Add diced chicken to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
9. Stir in the sliced bell pepper and zucchini, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until softened.
10. Add curry powder and coconut milk to the skillet, stirring to combine, and let it simmer for 5-10 minutes until the sauce thickens.
11. Once the crust is done, remove it from the oven and pour the coconut curry mixture over the crust.
12. Return the pizza to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to heat through.
13. Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice before serving.
