INGREDIENTS
150 grams lean ground beef
1 cup cauliflower florets
0.5 medium onion
0.5 medium carrot
0.25 cup green peas
0.5 cup low-sodium beef broth
1 clove garlic
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and half of the chopped onion, cooking until fragrant and translucent.
Add the lean ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks. Season with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme.
Stir in the diced carrot and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until slightly softened. Pour in the low-sodium beef broth and add the green peas. Let simmer until the vegetables are tender and the broth slightly reduces.
Meanwhile, steam or boil the cauliflower florets until tender. Drain and mash the cauliflower with the remaining onion until smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Spread the beef and vegetable mixture evenly in a small baking dish. Top with the mashed cauliflower, smoothing it out to create a creamy layer.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the topping to set.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
