Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Spread cauliflower florets in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and lightly spray with cooking spray. Roast for 30 minutes. Cool slightly, then transfer to a food processor (or blender). Add 1 cup of chicken broth and process until smooth. Transfer to a bowl, season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
- Heat the ground beef in a large skillet on medium-high heat until browned. Transfer beef to a paper towel-lined tray to drain excess fat.
- Add diced onion, minced garlic, and diced peppers to the same skillet (still on medium-high heat). Cook, stirring frequently, for about 3 minutes. Stir in cumin and paprika and cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly. Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Stir in the remaining 1 cup of chicken broth, diced tomatoes, chopped olives, and balsamic vinegar. Cook for 6 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened slightly and reduced by half. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the beef mixture to an 8 or 9-inch square baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Spoon the prepared cauliflower puree over the beef mixture as evenly as possible.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes at 400°F. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the topping is lightly golden and heated through. Serve hot.
